Fascinating... I've not read Pirsig's book but have, of course, heard of it. A quick search led me to wikipedia and this bit: > "Quality," or "value," as described by Pirsig, cannot be defined because it empirically precedes any intellectual construction of it, namely due to the fact that quality (as Pirsig explicitly defines it) exists always as a perceptual experience before it is ever thought of descriptively or academically. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirsig%27s_Metaphysics_of_Quality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirsig%27s_Metaphysics_of_Qual...
