    Wolff,

    If experience is reality

    and reality is everything,

    then everything is experience.

    If Quality is experience

    and Quality is reality,

    then everything is Quality.

    All Pirsigian's agree to those syllogisms (or have yet to deny them to me).

    If everything is Quality, then why does someone telling you what Quality is
    move you away from it? Isn't the "telling" Quality, too?

    As I asked at the end of "Philosophologology," "Why is the history of
    philosophy bracketed off from the kinds of experiences that are the
    legitimate concern of philosophy? Why is the experience of a book relegated
    to a lower position than the experience of a hot dog?"

    Matt
