Description
On Quality: An Inquiry into Excellence is a collection of unpublished and selected writings by Robert M. Pirsig, featuring a decade before the release of his famous book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Pirsig's central theme of "Quality" is explored in depth, drawing on Buddhist ideas and his own philosophical framework.
Edited by Wendy K. Pirsig, Robert's wife of four decades, this posthumous collection offers a unique insight into the evolution of Pirsig's thinking over five decades. It includes previously unpublished texts, speeches, letters, interviews, and private notes, as well as key excerpts from his other works.
Published for the first time, this collection provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a philosopher who was revered by fans but remained private in public life. With its unique blend of philosophy, personal reflection, and insight into the human condition, On Quality is a compelling read for anyone interested in Pirsig's thought and ideas.
