#Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance how to#
Through the lens of maintaining a motorcycle, Pirsig discusses knowledge, truth, reason, and how to seek out what is "good." Written in the mid-seventies during the initial rise of computer technology, this book also explores the difference between artistic and scientific visions of reality, and what that means to a world that is becoming increasingly reliant on technology. The focus of Pirsig’s narration alternates between past and present as he recounts his lifetime of studying philosophy and his attempts to answer the question, "what is quality?" As they traverse the twists and turns of America’s highways, so too is the reader taken down a winding path of philosophical inquiry. The journey is an opportunity for them to rekindle their relationship in the wake of Pirsig’s recovery from intense depression. Pirsig’s actual experiences, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a story about Pirsig’s relationship with his eleven-year-old son as they take a motorcycle trip across America.
