Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values
by Robert M. Pirsig
star4.5
Pirsig frames a cross-country motorcycle trip as an investigation into 'Quality,' the prereflective value he argues underlies both classical reason and romantic appreciation. Weaving autobiography, philosophy of technology, and a reading of Greek thought, Pirsig challenges the subject-object dualism he traces to Aristotle.
