[MD] On Pirsig's letter to Paul Turner

[david]

Just to be clear, "the argument that the Metaphysics of Quality is not an intellectual formulation" was not something that Paul Turner argued. Quite the opposite. Paul Turner is very intelligent and understands the MOQ as well as anyone. I admire the man.

Hi David.
Long time no see....
The assertation would only make sense in an occult environment;(imho);
The way i should suggest to read it,is as a derivative summary of two
different lines of reasoning only.
But  this does not mean the Turner brief is unimportant.It is
dated.Obsolete.
Strange that it keeps bugging people.
