    Bo

    Of course Matt loves his Mr Pirsig, why else is he here,
    he also loves his Mr Rorty too, and why some people think
    this is impossible I have yet to see the poorest argument for,
    except the endless mis-representation of everything pragmatist.
    Such is life.

    I have read Pirsig and Rorty and can see lots of similar, and some
    disagreement, anyone interested in checking this similarity out for
    themselves should go and read Rorty. If they are not interested then
    don't. If they think they are incompatible but have not read Rorty,
    they should take a look in the mirror and wonder why they are doing
    this when they have not read Rorty's 4/5 main works. Shame on you!

    regards
    David M (feeling in a scolding mood today)

    condemnations and repudiations of everything Pirsig stands for is to not
    really read them. The only people who would tell you otherwise about Pirsig
    and Rorty are people like Platt and DMB, not me.
