Those who have heard me rave (or rant) about him for about a year now will
not be surprised when I recommend Owen Barfield, especially his "Saving the
Appearances: A Study in Idolatry" as a book that more than any I know of
lays out what the shift to the intellectual level is all about (N.b., this
book was written in 1958, so it is independent of Pirsig's work).
I came across this recently, to show that I'm not alone in my ravings. This
from John Lukacs "At the End of an Age":
"I consider this -- so often hardly recognized -- English writer [Barfield]
(1898-1998) as one of the greatest, and surely one of the profoundest and
clearest (a rare combination) thinkers in the twentieth century."

Subject: MD other writers
> I am younger scholar who has just read zen and the art of motorcycle
maintenance and lila in a few weeks. I was completely enthralled with both,
and really enjoyed the few weeks of immersed thought. Anyway, I was
wondering if there are any other works that are along the same lines, maybe
not moq, but just a philosophy that is written like pirsig. Of all the
books i have read, he was my favorite writer.
