"The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called 'yourself.'" One of the most important and influential books of the past half-century, Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a powerful, moving, and penetrating examination of how we live and a meditation on how to live better. The narrative of a father on a summer motorcycle trip across America's Northwest with his young son, it becomes a profound personal and philosophical odyssey into life's fundamental questions. A true modern classic, it remains at once touching and transcendent, resonant with the myriad confusions of existence and the small, essential triumphs that propel us forward.
罗伯特•M.波西格(Robert M. Pirsig),1928年生于美国明尼苏达州双子城。15岁进入明尼苏达大学主修化学,后又学习哲学,之后在该校攻读传播学硕士;他曾到印度伯纳雷斯印度大学学习东方哲学,并担任修辞学教授。在追求真理的过程中,因为西方倡导的二元对立与二分法带来的分裂而困扰不已,因而一直试图寻找支离破碎的文化的整合之道,这些问题长久折磨着他并让他焦虑又烦躁。1961年他被诊断为偏执型精神分裂症和临床忧郁症,被多次送进医院。1963年起接受了多达28次的休克疗法,在此期间妻子与他离婚。后来他终于不再执着于自己的理论并且出院,转而开始潜心写作来表达自己的想法。1968年他与长子克里斯一起骑着摩托车从双子城出发,在中西部旷野、洛矶山区和西海岸从事心灵探险。他希望从狭窄而受限的自我解脱,于是才开始这场横跨美国大陆的万里长旅,一路经过复杂经验与反省思考,终于恢复了自我的完整。
本书出版后波西格一直过着隐居避世的生活,并与第二任妻子完成了横渡大西洋的轮渡之旅。
1、我认为这本书是按照两条线来写的:一条是“我”对“斐德洛”的回忆,包括他的生活和思想;另一条是我在摩托车旅行中的见闻。两条线在书的结尾处逐渐融合:“我”意识到原来“斐德洛”就是“我”自己——因精神病住院之前的“我”;另一方面,“我”一路走来探讨了那么多哲学...

评分《禅的故事》和《万里任禅游》 2009-03-22 19:22 (分类:读书记评) 《禅的故事》是一本很薄的小册子,大约是作者李普士总结了写在纽约的杂志上给当时西方读者扫盲的几段印度禅学对话,以及搜罗一些中国的法门和日本的禅话。 这本书是我在小学五年级从家里面翻出来的,可以肯定...
评分This is highly philo but not overwhelming with excess esoteric terms. It's still an enjoyable read, with a mixture of philosophyical discussions and fictions. However, most ideas seems outdated - they are rooted in 1970s context, eg: reason-emotion duality. The main character's struggle to find his authentic voice is relatable and inspiring!
评分涉及很多哲学的东西,虽然不能完全读懂,但是觉得还是不错的一本书。
评分在phaedrus的时候,在chautauqua的时候,太偏执都会掉进心的陷阱,太努力追求quality时就失去了它,而当他和儿子相互敞开心扉时,问题都散去了。后面的论述让人头大,再想想怎么学英语
评分An intellectual, or should I say attitude(?), Odyssey...full of insights of this contemporary world
