Lila's Child: An Inquiry Into Quality

Lila's Child chronicles the first year of the Lila Squad discussion group... an Internet list devoted to the works of Robert M. Pirsig. This discussion focuses upon his second novel, Lila: An Inquiry into Morals although his first book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Value is also discussed a great deal. Lila's Child features an introduction by Robert Pirsig as well as over a hundred and fifty annotations where he explains and elucidates his thinking on the Metaphysics of Quality and how it relates to our conventional way of viewing reality. Many other philosophers are discussed as well. The contributors to the Lila Squad are from all corners of the globe and range in age from sixteen to over seventy years of age.
This book is an essential companion to those who want to further their understanding of the Metaphysics of Quality and the thought processes that went into it. It can be read and appreciated by those at the university level as well as those merely interested in filling in some of the ambiguities that might exist after reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Lila.
