Spherik,
What's so strange about teaching Dewey up against Schopenhauer I ask,
(angling for lurkers)?
World as Will and Representation? World as the pursuit of satisfaction and
as the instruments of that pursuit. I think you're Philsophy Prof. was a
very smart man.
Note to MOQ MD: Satisfaction/Quality - analogy OK?

Subject: Re: MD Dewey/James
I remember that I was studying Dewey at the same time I was reading for the
first time ZMM, but I not noticed that the roots of some Pirsig's views was
on the pragmatic american school....
But the interest for Pirsig in me, maybe, derives from the "strange" choice
of my philosophy professor (strange because in Italian school, at the fifth
year of the lyceum it's rare that remains the time to study something that
is not idealists, Hegel, Nietsche, Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard...) to
include into the argument list the Dewey's work.
I want to say hi to all the MOQers, and now I go back to Lurklandia! ;))
