In fact, and I might be risking the annoyance of my other friends
here on the list, I think Pirsig made a mistake when, in ZMM, he
decided to move away from his metaphysical trinity of Quality-Subject-
Object. In setting Quality above the other two, he began to say
things about Quality that have exposed him to a lot of not entirely
unwarranted philosophical criticism. From that point on in ZMM and
throughout LILA, this talk of Quality has resulted in the weakening
(degeneracy) of his metaphysics. To his great credit, he knew this
would happen, but considered the explanatory power of the MOQ to be
worth the risk.
OK!!!
Now I've got it. This is all about explaining MOQ. It is not about
discovering Quality, but explaining MOQ. It is about teaching a better way of
thinking(?)
