I enjoyed his novels but I don't think his philosophy is anything special.

His writing is shit his books are shit and if you disagree fight me

hack

>In 1979, Pirsig's son Chris . . . was stabbed to death during a mugging outside the San Francisco Zen Center.
>he and his second wife, Kimball, decided not to abort the child she conceived in 1980
>he had come to believe that this unborn child was a continuation of the life pattern that Chris had occupied

Poor fucking kid. That's what happens when your faggot dad is a hack. Chris probably didn't even give a shit about his dad's philosophy bullshit. What a way to go out.

what fucking shitty people. just pretending that their new child is their old one because it makes them feel good. i'm sure that's great for the new kid. breeders are always 100% selfish, fuck them

Cretin-tier writer and thinker who didn't understand the Western and Easter philosophical traditions he aimed to reconcile, and his own philosophical insights are the ramblings of a schizophrenic who seems to have to work to consciously ignore how much it resembles a retarded interpretation of Plato. (Does he even know why he named his character Phaedrus?)

trash worthy

I like how, in the forward to ZatMM, he actually says that he was citing the wrong part/character from Republic.

Probably should've checked that before you moved past the rough draft, buddy.
