Compilation of the first year of discusions revolving around Robert M. Pirsig's novels, Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals, and Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values. With an introduction and over a hundred and fifty annotations by Robert Pirsig found nowhere else, this is a must-have book for anyone seriously interested in Mr. Pirsig's work.
The far-reaching discussions touch on many diverse subjects such as free will, determinism, death, the supernatural, and a host of other philosophers and how their work relates to Mr. Pirsig's. The contributors range in age from sixteen years old to over seventy years of age, hail from many different countries, and have a wide range of educational experiences, lending the discussions a particularly interesting set of belief systems.
Lila's Child will enhance and enlarge the readers' knowledge of not only the Metaphysics of Quality, but of philosophy in general. Writers from Ayers to Zohar are discussed and a vast number of books are recommended for further reading.
