Hi Patrick:

What I think is irrelevant to the point of my post which was to question
the veracity of Rorty's "solidarity truth." A debate about the extent of
climate change on this site which is primarily devoted to philosophy,
especially the Metaphysic of Quality, would not be appropriate IMO. As
far as know, Pirsig has said nothing about global warming.
The issue of "truth" is very much relevant, however, as it goes to the
heart of intellectual values. Do you agree with Pirsig's truth criteria,
Rorty's criteria or some other standard? What moves you along the
scale from doubt to certainty?
