.Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values by: Robert M. Pirsig April 25, 2006 This was a thought provocing and very enjoyable read. Although it isn't "action packed" or anything, that isn't the point. The author's naration tells the tale of his philosophical journey cross country with his son on his motorcyle. Not only was this book inspirational, but provides new insight in terms of how one sees the world around them. A must read! >>See More Reviews & Details on Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values |

.Coffee with Plato (Coffee with...Series) by: Donald R. Moor September 01, 2007 First of all, please disregard all of the hoopla of Pirsig's name being included in this book. Pirsig only wrote a 2 page introduction to the book, and it contains no new insights to his Metaphysics of Quality. It is simply a short introduction to Plato. So if you are a devoted follower to Pirsig, like I am, don't freak out and purchase this book, like I did. That said, this is a nice little book on the very basics of Plato. Having read a majority of Plato's works, as well as 2 or 3 other introductions on the man, I found this book to be pleasant and somewhat refreshing. Donald R.

.Lila's Child: An Inquiry into Quality from: 1st Books Library January 14, 2003 This book is an excellent compilation of on-line discussions which occurred in the late 1990's regarding the Metaphysics of Quality. The discussions themselves are a joy to read, but Pirsig's annotations and comments make this an absolute must for anyone deeply interested in the philosophical system of thought called the Metaphysics of Quality. The contributors bring up and discuss many of the problems and difficulties lesser philosophers than Pirsig, such as myself, have had with the MOQ. Pirsig's clarifications and notes go a long way toward solving many of these problems. This book is no Pirsig "lovefest." Dissenters abound in the discussions, many of whom are quite intelligent and learned. Pirsig's well-reasoned ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Lila's Child: An Inquiry into Quality |

.LILA ~ An Inquiry Into Morals ~ by: Robert M. Pirsig 1991 Review of "Lila" by Robert Pirsig. I loved this thought provoking story. It is an impressive and engrossing book. This book surpasses the intensity of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" in scope and in the development of the author's concepts of quality and value. It is a daring exposition on objective valuation and it offers a broad appeal. Pirsig shows his metaphysics of quality works in real situations and for life changing decisions. Open up, expand your consciousness, read and enjoy this book. I recommend this book. >>See More Reviews & Details on LILA ~ An Inquiry Into Morals ~ |
