ZAMM – intro<\/strong><\/p>\n

“There is a narrator whose mind you never leave.”<\/p>\n

\n

He refers to an evil ghost named Phaedrus. (Phaedrus is the Narrator’s Past Self).<\/p>\n

There is a divided personality here: two minds fighting for the same body.<\/p>\n

Two minds have different values as to what is important.<\/p>\n

Phaedrus was dominated by intellectual values.<\/p>\n

“In Phedrus’s view …. the narrator doesn’t want to be honest, just an accepted member of the community.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It also explores what we might call the ethics of maintenance and repair.<\/p>\n

“… a calm recognition may yet emerge that productive labor is the foundation of all prosperity.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“What it means to be a good mechanic is that have a keen sense that you answer to something that is the opposite of personal or idiosyncratic; something universal. In Pirsig’s story, there is an underlying fact; a sheared off pin has blocked an oil gallery, resulting in oil starvation to the head and excessive heat, causing the seizures. This is the Truth, and it is the same for everyone.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

A refutation of moral relativity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
