		A narration of a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his son, the book becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions of how to live.

		Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is at once the story of a motorcycle journey across the country; a meditation on values and the concept of Quality; and an allegorical tale of a man coming to terms with his past.

	Review of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
		Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, by Robert Pirsig
		Practically the motorcycle and its maintenance are archetypes for technology, and the qualities of these are metaphors for the philosophical "virtues".
		In fact the concept of quality and the ancient debate between rational (logical) and subjective (rhetorical) views of the world are truly the subject of the book.

	Term paper on Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
		In Pirsigs’ ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’, one is compelled to read through the whole presentation, and this is because of the fact that the story line is brilliantly present; it helps expose the value of objects in relation to the human mind.
		In Pirsig’s view, it is the quality of the motorcycle that matters to him; the manner in which he and his son experience the wide open country rode, riding into the sunset is described as an experience that is totally different from sitting in a car.
		In his book ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’, Pirsig emphasizes on his view that quality is relative to the individual.

		As someone who owned a motorcycle and spent time tinkering with it, reading about engine seizures and rich cylinders was almost sentimental for me. Pirsig uses the notion of motorcycle maintenance to illustrate the core idea that I got out of
		The Zen aspect of this reconciliation comes in accepting the fact that there are bound to be fundamental contradictions when that occurs (which, in the case of number theory, is predicted by G"odel's Incompleteness Theorem).
		One of the most clever ideas in this work is the notion that even though the "purpose of [sic] scientific method is to select a single truth from among many hypothetical truths", "it is science itself that is leading mankind from a single absolute truths to multiple indeterminate ones".

		Robert M. Pirsig´s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and the term ´Chautauqua´.
		He uses the term Chautauqua whenever he wants to present notions of a more theoretical kind: motorcycle maintenance, philosophy, technology, 20th century life, etc. These Chautauquas gain importance for the narrator on a very personal level, because the lectures become more specifically linked to the narrator´s life.
		Still, he never abandons pointing out general implications, trying to come to conclusions at the end of the Chautauquas (although sometimes the end of one and the beginning of another are blurred).

	Swamiji Speaks on Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
		The Zen practice of motorcycle maintenance - you will be wondering what kind of thing is this.
		The maintenance of it involves an equally great attention paid to each and every part, nut and bolt, cleaning, and whatever it is, to perfection in the maintenance of a motorcycle.
		It is a great art of perfection, neatness; the broom is an object of attention and not simply a thing about which you can be careless.
