Sequel to the wildly popular Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Pirsig expands on the ideas of Quality and expands them into a complete Metaphysics of Quality.

This is my 4th time through this book. Come to think of it I don't think I've ever read another book this many times. I always get something new out of this book. It's definitely a cerebral kind of read but Pirsig makes philosophy pretty accessible. His Metaphysics of Quality is a massive step beyond the primitive Cartesian subject-object philosophies that still somehow manages to dominant our unconscious assumptions of the experience of life. Not as popular as Zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance but a much more satisfying book in terms of its exposition of his philosophy.
