Zen y el arte de la mantención de la motocicleta: una indagación sobre los valores, publicado por primera vez en 1974, es una obra de ficción filosófica, el primero de los textos en que Robert M. Pirsig explora su metafísica de la calidad. El título aparenta un juego de palabras con el título del libro Zen en el arte del tiro con arco. En su introducción, Pirsig explica que, a pesar del título, «no debería en ningún caso ser asociado con ese gran cuerpo de información sobre los hechos relativos a la práctica ortodoxa del budismo zen. Tampoco es muy literal en lo que respecta a las motocicletas.»

El libro describe, en primera persona, un viaje de 17 días en motocicleta de Minnesota al norte de California por el autor (aunque no se identifica en el libro) y su hijo Chris. Son acompañados los primeros días del viaje por sus amigos cercanos John y Sylvia Sutherland, con quienes se separan en Montana. El viaje está marcado por numerosas discusiones filosóficas, conocidas como "chautauquas". El cuidado diario de las piezas mecánicas, su funcionamiento correcto y el equilibrio necesario de las partes que componen el todo resumen la historia de la filosofía occidental. La magia de este libro, que marco a millones de lectores en todo el mundo, reside en su habilidad de cautivar al lector mediante una entrañable historia mientras explora el patrimonio filosófico desde Socrates hasta Kant, al mismo tiempo examinando el valioso contrapeso de las corrientes filosóficas orientales.

Work Description

"The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called 'yourself.'"One of the most important and influential books of the past half-century, Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a powerful, moving, and penetrating examination of how we live and a meditation on how to live better. The narrative of a father on a summer motorcycle trip across America's Northwest with his young son, it becomes a profound personal and philosophical odyssey into life's fundamental questions. A true modern classic, it remains at once touching and transcendent, resonant with the myriad confusions of existence and the small, essential triumphs that propel us forward.
