[MD] The Futile Quest for Academic Approval

[John Carl]

On a more thoughtful and sober vein (it was late last night when I got in),
my point Matt, was not in trying to critique the Academe, but rather I
wanted to examine the reasoning behind the dismissal of certain philosophers
in the past.  I believe all that Dr. Kegley said about Royce, pertains
equally to Pirsig.

"Ignoring those who are outside of and counter one's views has, of course,
condemned a number of creative and excellent philosophers to the margins of
academic concern, including many philosophers in classical American
philosophy."
