Average Customer Review
Fm Amazon review by "cicha1994" (Schenectady, NY United States)Robert Pirsig has achieved what few others have managed before him and, to the best of my knowledge, nobody else has accomplished since: a perfect unification of philosophy, adventure, [travel, problem solving, techniques of learning and writing] and mystery. His "Chautauqua," or traveling tale, takes the reader on a profound tour of ancient Greek philosophy, the steppes of Montana, and even a little bit of Zen Buddhism, with endless surprises and much original if not truly inspired thought along the way.

The links below will take you to a Host of Beautiful Rainbow Colors inthe Sky. The best collection of "Atmospheric Optics" I have seen. Also great photography! Just wonderful!! Please enjoy! Be sure to note triangles < > at upper right. The > right triangle will ALWAYS move to next the next photo, and thus cycle you through the entire collectionof photos. It will keep on going,even if you are at one of frames that shows the "many-photo-select". Henry Gurr Look here first.

Michele Scott, Computer & Management Consultant1) I wonder if this [the ZMMquality website] is counter to the essence of the book? Is developing a website about this journey very ‘Zen’? [HSG ReplyYes, thank you. Very important! I need to be very careful about this. What kind of changes should I make? Can you say more about this? I perceive that I am helping promote more people to actually read ZMM, and THIS is the best WAY they will get the point of Zen. Also I assume my pages and photos will help Pilgrims that are going to (or have already) decided to follow the ZMM Route. If my ZMM WebSite is counter to Zen, then at least I should explain (warn?) about this problem and urge people NOT to learn or understand Zen from my website!! Or for sure tell the visitor, if they want to grow in the direction of being more ”Zen Like”, they should, instead read ZMM and avoid my Website! (But I can tell already, from what you have said, that you did pick up quite a bit of the sense of what ZMM was about, so what is tshown in my ZMMQG captions does help the visitor, to learn of the books content and general thrust.)]

Your message to Antczak led him to forward it to me, asking what I know about Pirsig. The truth is, nothing really. I read his book when it came out and liked it a lot--with reservations of course. I remember saying, when my wife asked me about it, that I wished I had written it. I never knew Pirsig, and I have no accurate memories about physical details that he remembers or invents for his story. My strongest memory is that my first hearing of the book was in a review in TLS, where it pointed out that the villain of the piece was the chairman of Ideas and Methods. Since I was the chairman of I and M, I quickly bought the book and was relieved to see that the villain was McKeon, former chairman. I have no way of knowing how McKeon treated Pirsig, and for all I know P. did suffer some devastating questioning. McKeon was not by any means the villain that P. portrays, but his methods sometimes led students to FEEL that he was: his mind was on truth, or on his version of multiple truths, and he tended to overlook the psychological effects on students. It took a lot of courage and inner strength to live with (or under) him, and as the book would lead you to expect, many grad students, not just Pirsig, failed to finish because of feeling overwhelmed or mistreated. I would have to re-read the book to find details about which I might comment, and at the moment I am too much loaded with re-reading Anna Karenina, which I see as a considerably greater novel. But keep up the work: Pirsig deserves your attention. Wayne Booth
Changed lines 32-33 from:
Pirsig makes a lot of excellent points throughout the book, which is the reason it is worth a read. For example, he comments that institutions serve their function and seek to subvert the individual to their own end. He illustrates this using academia as an example where students are taught to imitate and the idea of teaching involves thinking like the teacher. In my view, the only thing worth teaching is how to learn. This is something that can't be accomplished by grades, degrees, and generally by classroom teaching (where the pure motivation of wanting to learn can easily be corrupted by a desire to earn better grades or earning a degree), which is why I prefer the mentor-mentee relationship. There are some subjects where directed mentorship benefits (mathematics, for example), and this is more generally true when the subject of life itself is considered. However, freedom to learn and to question (something I've been raised with as far as back as I could remember) is arguably the most important condition to instill a passion for learning. In any event Pirsig's comments about institutions hold water much better when applied to governments and religions. to:

In any event Pirsig's comments about institutions hold water much better when applied to governments and religions. Another problem Pirsig points out is that over time, we've ignored our romantic side because the classical side has produced immediate gratification. As Pirsig also points out, this dichotomy, created by the Greeks, shouldn't have been created in the first place and leads to dissatisfaction. The solution of course, is to pay no attention to this dichotomy, which in my view is socially created, and ignore the notion of "right-brained" vs. "left-brained" talents. This is the dualism disease that Pirsig laments about. The story itself has a degree of suspense thanks to the mysterious allusion to the schizophrenia that the narrator of the book has, fighting between an ideal and pragmatic self. The ending is particular interesting when the side that was in the background takes over. Fundamentally, the whole book is about an inquiry into values and the notion of a contextual Quality which I won't get into except to say that in terms of a philosophy of life what matters most is being content (perhaps that's the same as "achieving" Quality).
