Revaluation of Values

August 20, 2010 by Mark Linsenmayer 4 Comments

"You know, the very baddest things are dying, and getting killed, and getting eaten, and getting cooked. And kindergarten, that is the next baddest thing."

    Think the non-philosophicologist, Robert Pirsig, is worth a podcast, perhaps share the event with Whitehead – both pragmatist process thinkers?

    I love this site. I was led here by ML when we both commented at the Philsophy Talk post on James.

    I too got my MS at UT in back in 1980, and a PhD in civil engineering from Minnesota. Phil is my BIG hobby.

    BTW, forgot that Pirsig says values are the uktimate metaphysical category with the general label of Quality.

    Izzy is brilliant. She distinguishes the order of badness from the order in which things would have to be done.

    @Burl — thanks; we’ll check out Pirsig (and it’s been a long time since I’ve looked at Whitehead).

    Seems to me she’s a sort of pragmatist. James and Pierce bedtime podcasts!

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion
