"The world's greatest fool may say the Sun is shining, but that doesn't make it dark out."
Robert Pirsig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Maynard Pirsig (born September 6, 1928) is an American
writer and philosopher of the philosophical novelsZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values (1974)
and Lila: An Inquiry into Morals (1991).
Because he was a precocious child, with an I.Q. of 170 at age 9, Robert Pirsig skipped several grades and was enrolled at the Blake School in Minneapolis. Pirsig was granted a high school diploma in May 1943, and entered the University of Minnesota to study biochemistry that autumn.
In Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, he described the central character, thought to represent himself, as being far from a typical student; he was interested in science as a goal in itself, rather than as a way to establish a career.
