JON:
Yes, Good, Morality, and Quality are all the same thing. I think Pirsig makes
this very clear in both ZMM and LILA. After all, besides the quote that
Struan provided, look at the last paragraph of LILA. "Good is a noun."
I must point out that I am only speaking for myself, and not the other
members of this forum. I do believe however that many, or at least a few,
members have stated in previous posts that there is a clear-cut difference
between Morality and Quality. Pirsig says they are the same thing, but some
members of the moq forum think they are different.
