Hi Christopher!

It would appear there is no difference?
Dynamic quality is the Tao. (Or Quality with a capital Q.)

Has Pirsig found a good way to place Quality within the framework of a
rational metaphysics?
Dealing with philosophers, one would very often feel not.
I feel it is the philosophers who need to wake up!

Hope this posting finds you well...
All the best,

Squonk. :-)

 I thoroughly enjoyed Pirsig's novels, but I was wondering, how is Quality
any different than Tao?

 great flood and runs over rocks from the basement
 of time. On some of the rocks are timeless
 raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and
 some of the words are theirs. -- Norman Maclean
