First sentence: I recently had cause to pick up Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance (1976) nearly 25 years after first reading it (my son was reading it at the time) and was immediately recaptivated by its romance: the excitement of taking on the big boys in philosophy; the belief that there was another way of looking at the world that was lost on those (the dialecticians) dominated by over-rationalistic perpectives.
