Zen and the art of caring for a motorcycle: study of values: Robert Pirsig

The unique work of Robert Persig, who revived in the second half of the twentieth century the genre of the “philosophical novel-travel” of the age of XVIII. Everything is unusual in this work – on behalf of the protagonist, who immediately sends the reader to the literary and philosophical predecessors of the author, to the fundamental topic: how to combine the purely rationalist, technological reality of our time with a purely idealistic creative beginning? How is our contemporary forced to decide an eternal dispute between an objective and subjective perception? And, above all, is it possible to find something between the philosophical movements of the West and the East?
