Curious Minds & Classic Books: A Reading Group

Ever wanted to finally get through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? Let’s do it together.

This week we examine Chapters 21–26.
Pirsig will argue that the rigid Subject-Object (S-O) divide is an intellectual construct, not a fundamental reality.
Quality is positioned as the pre-intellectual source of both subjects and objects, preceding Aristotelian classification.
Pirsig utilizes the kōan of "Mu" to expose the failure of the Law of Excluded Middle when applied to the "pre-intellectual" experience.
Pirsig emphasizes that scientific truth is not discovered in nature but constructed through selective creative choices.
Logic and truth are revealed as tools for managing experience, not ultimate reality.

Our meetups are completely free. If you enjoy relaxed, thoughtful discussion, you’ll fit right in. Come join the conversation!
