Hi Glenn:

Can you point to a paragraph or sentence in LILA where Pirsig
claims the MOQ is "scientific." I've searched until I'm blue in the
face and can find no such reference. Thanks.

Platt

PS: I agree with 3WD who wrote ". . . heirarchy is a better term
because the primary definition of taxonomy refers to 'the
classifying of objects' and I can find no-one who classifies
'morals' as 'objects.'"

Don't you think "hierarchy" is a more accurate description of the 4-
level structure than "taxonomy?"
