[MD] Dissertation re/Pirisig and Postmodernity

Arlo said to dmb:
> Hmm... I went back and re-read this, because I had initially read it in the context of setting up the argument, not a statement of conclusions. Two pages later she writes, for example, "Yet, the ardent opposition of the two dimensions in the beginning of the narration makes the achievement generated through their combination appear all the more valuable."
> 
> So I'd read her comment as being proclaiming that the classic-romantic had become two categorically disjunct ways of thinking, which was the impetus to write ZMM and offer a resolution, not that Pirsig himself was arguing that the classic and romantic should be, or are ipso facto, categorially disjunct.

I hope you're right about that. Thanks for taking the time.
