Pirsig began his studies at the University of Minnesota in 1943, and after flunking out, and serving with US military in Korea. He returned to receive his B.A. in 1950. He then attended Benares Hindu University in India to further explore Eastern philosophy. In 1954 he married Nancy Ann James, and the couple had a son, Chris, in 1956, and a second son, Theodore in 1958. Pirsig divorced Nancy in 1978, going on to marry Wendy Kimball later in the year. The couple had a daughter, Nell, in 1980. In 1979, Pirsig's first son Chris, who had played an important role in his first book, was stabbed to death during a mugging in San Francisco.

"Metaphysics is a restaurant where they give you a thirty thousand page menu, and no food." The solutions all are simple after you have arrived at them. But they're simple only when you know already what they are. "You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know" it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths..." "One thing about pioneers that you don't hear mentioned is that they are invariably, by their nature, messmakers."

http://www.philosophersnet.com/magazine/pirsig_transcript.htm

Extractions: The following is the complete email exchange between Julian Baggini and Robert Pirsig. Because some emails followed up on questions in earlier ones, the order of the questions and answers has been changed, but all Robert Pirsig's answers are given complete and nothing else but the order has been rephrased or altered. BAGGINI: Earlier this year we saw the first ever academic conference dedicated to the Metaphysics of Quality. Does it surprise or disappoint you that it has taken so long? PIRSIG: I'm not sure if Anthony has passed along my opening statement for the conference, but since it answers this question very specifically I'm attaching it below. [ ] Feel free to quote from it as you wish. BAGGINI: There are all sorts of echoes and references to the mainstream philosophical tradition in your books, yet it is not obvious where or how you fit into that tradition. You have, for example, been referred to as an American pragmatist philosopher. Where would you locate your work in the history of philosophy? PIRSIG: The Metaphysics of Quality is not intended to be within any philosophic tradition, although obviously it was not written in a vacuum. My first awareness that it resembled James' work came from a magazine review long after Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was published. The Metaphysics of Quality's central idea that the world is nothing but value is not part of any philosophic tradition that I know of. I have proposed it because it seems to me that when you look into it carefully it makes more sense than all the other things the world is supposed to be composed of. One particular strength lies in its applicability to quantum physics, where substance has been dismissed but nothing except arcane mathematical formulae has really replaced it.

http://www.selfgrowth.com/experts/robert_pirsig.html

Extractions: Content Books Getting Started With Robert M. Pirsig Contacting Robert M. Pirsig Robert M. Pirsig is the author of the best-selling book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It is an autobiographical novel, detailing a cross-country motorcycle trip by a man with his 11-year-old son, as well as his quest for truth. Pirsig says the study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a study of the art of rationality itself. Pirsig was born in Minneapolis and studied chemistry, philosophy, and journalism at the University of Minnesota. He also attended Benares Hindu University in India, where he studied Oriental philosophy. Pirsig says the idea for the book was first conceived in 1968 as a short and lighthearted essay, following a motorcycle trip with his son and two friends.

It lurches, with a deliberate shift of its grave ballast, between fiction and philosophic discourse, between a private memoir and the formulaic impersonality of an engineering or trade journal. As it stands, it is a very long book, but report has it, and fault lines indicate, that a much longer text lies behind itâ¦. "Zen and the Art" is awkward both to live with and to write about. It lodges in the mind as few recent novels have, deepening its grip, compelling the landscape into unexpected planes of order and menace. The narrative thread is deceptively trite.

http://www.univie.ac.at/Anglistik/easyrider/data/zen_and_the_art_of_motorcycle_m

Extractions: Robert M. Pirsig´s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and the term ´Chautauqua´. Contents Introduction A short history of the Chautauqua movement Reconstructing Phaedrus Sources Introduction I would like to use the time to talk in some depth about things that seem important. What is in mind is a sort of Chautauqua The narrator sticks to this expression as well as to the lecture-form, the most defining element of the original Chautauquas, throughout the novel. 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). A wide range of topics is discussed, which seemingly also inspired the narrator to come up with the term chautauqua. Other than that, parallels can be found in the ´lecturer´ being on the road in the U.S.A., his attachment to rural areas, and his system of day-trips in accordance with his chautauquas. A short history of the Chautauqua Movement Consulting volume nine of ´The New Pelican Guide to English Literature´, the one dedicated to ´American Literature´, I find that

Extractions: What follows is based on actual occurrences. Although much has been changed for rhetorical purposes, it must be regarded in its essence as fact. However, it should in no way be associated with that great body of factual information relating to orthodox Ze n Buddhist practice. It's not very factual on motorcycles, either. And what is good, Phadrus, In the wind are pungent odors from the marshes by the road. We are in an area of the Central Plains filled with thousands of duck hunting sloughs, heading northwest from Minneapolis toward the Dakotas. This highway is an old concrete two-laner that hasn't had much traffic since a four-laner went in parallel to it several years ago. When we pass a marsh the air suddenly becomes cooler. Then, when we are past, it suddenly warms up again. I'm happy to be riding back into this country. It is a kind of nowhere, famous for nothing at all and has an appeal because of just that. Tensions disappear along old roads like this. We bump along the beat-up concrete between the cattails and stretches of meadow and then more cattails and marsh grass. Here and there is a stretch of open water and if you look closely you can see wild ducks at the edge of the cattails. And turtles. There's a red-winged blackbird.
