Steve:
I always thought that Pirsig means that rationality is not divorced
from value, meaning, and purpose as some have thought. Pirsig's "new
spiritual rationality" is the rationality that one is using when logic
is thought of as a set of guidelines for getting good conclusions from
good premises rather than cold stale facts about how the world works
independently of human interests.

Best,
Steve
