I'll let Pirsig add a bit more depth: "Here Quality succeeds where Bradley’s
Absolute and Hegel’s Being and the Buddhist Nothingness and the Hindu
Oneness and the theists’ God and Allah and you-name-it; all of them fail.
For quality, no faith is required because there is no way you can disbelieve
that there is such a thing as quality. You cannot conceive of or live in a
world in which nothing is better than anything else."

As for archetypes, you'll have to ask someone more familiar with Jung than
me.

Platt
