    DMB,

    I've considered whether Pirsig is "post-post-modern," (a term that is even
    worse than post-modern) but I just don't see it. The route that Rorty goes
    in taking the post-modern turn is getting rid of the appearance/reality
    distinction and, as I see it, that distinction is absolutely paramount to
    the mysticism Pirsig wants to incorporate. As I see it, he's riding a
    fence between modern and post-, but needless to say, I still want to
    consider if he has found a third alternative.
