...if Matt is talking then Rorty is the topic...
Matt:
That's just plain wrong and I can provide many examples. (But the point of
course wasn't factual efficacy, but something more like slander.) I think
it is only the inability to distinguish between when a person is excavating
their own thoughts from when they are excavating Pirsig's thoughts (the
difference between philosophy and biography) that causes misguided "priests"
or "purists" or "defenders" to balk whenever something other than Pirsig is
brought up. I think a little sensitivity and agility in reading is all that
is needed here, but there's not a lot the writer can do to facilitate such
sensitivity. Afterall, I can tell the difference between when you are
talking about what Campbell or Wilber thinks and when you are talking about
what Pirsig thinks, even when you go back and forth in the same post. It
boggles my mind that you can't make that distinction in other people.
Matt
