Hi Matt,

Your Pirsig Affliction posts were excellent.  I had no justification 
for mentioning that obscure and convoluted Margolis book.  These 
threads, though, remind me again of the Lila soliloquy but with an 
East/West twist rather than gender.  The West tends to be 
philosophically playing around the edges, and won't go to the 
center, like say Nagarjuna...    

Beautiful papers!

But I must say something about style.  A while back I read a half-dozen books on relativism.  The majority were well written and helpful.  Margolis was the only author whose style seemed affected; I thought maybe he wrote with his head up is butt.
