Bo,

From pre-historic times humans have constructed world-views - it's the human hallmark - but these we call myths because they were not based on OBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE and this says it all.
Matt:
What constitutes "OBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE?"
Bo said:
We know what philosophers Pirsig refers to in his work and (your) Whitehead, Bergson, Heidegger are not among them. And if existentialism can be said to be a parallel or forerunner for the MOQ ...maybe?
Matt:
Pirsig does refer flatteringly to Whitehead in his reference to Whitehead's "dim apprehension" and I thought Pirsig referenced Bergson once (possibly in his line-up of philosophers that other people said he sounded like).
I like to think of existentialism as having some things in common with Pirsig. I have two separate and equally pedestrian accounts in my first two essays in the .org Forum.
