| 摘要 | The novel, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" attempts to reconcile the dichotomy that exists between art and technology. The main character, Pirsig, believes that technology, or the making of things, is essentially art for two reasons: the Greeks never separated art from manufacture and real technology does not exploit nature. Rather, technology involves a fusion of nature and the human spirit resulting in a new transcending creation. This concept is similar to that at the heart of Zen meditation and art. Pirsig believes that the conflict between art and technology can be resolved if technical workers show care about the work they are doing, if peace of mind persists in the recognition of numerous ways of doing things, and if one achieves complete identification with one's circumstances in the pursuit of "quality." In this quality, Pirsig sees a spirtual force, similar to Buddha, the "arete" of the Greeks, or the ultimate expressions of other religions. Therefore, the pursuit of quality is the link that binds art and technology together. |
