What, Why & How do we Know ?
New Pirsig ZMM Route Map Created by Gary Wegner and brought to my attention by Henry Gurr. I was contemplating linking my route-map to Henry’s increasingly captioned series of photos – which become more amazing every visit – but my effort looks so primitive alongside Gary’s.

Pirsig Newspaper Records. Updated my Pirsig Project Pages since receiving several 1974, 75, 76 and 79 newspaper articles from St. Paul, Minnesota. (I’ve included key transcripts, but the Timeline does not yet benefit from the addtional details.)

Henry’s site has many more photographs and location details than I can link … Continue reading “Pirsig ZMM Journey Route Map Updated”
Picked-up from an anonymous hit on the blog, I found this link between Rorty and Pirsig. Including the following from Rorty [Quote] At fifteen I escaped … by going off to the so-called “Hutchins College” of the University of Chicago. (This was the institution immortalized by A. J. Liebling as “the biggest collection juvenile neurotics … Continue reading “Rorty and Pirsig”
Pirsig Pages Update – I’ve added a significant update to my Pirsig pages to include a link to my new map of the ZAMM route. (It’s a frames page, to enable a changing information panel as you move across each of the points en-route, but I think I’ve done the decent thing and ensured all … Continue reading “Pirsig Pages Update”
