Are we all just squirrels trying to get a nut? Professor Steven Barbone of SDSU’s Philosophy Department leads a 50th anniversary discussion of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig, one of the most influential books of the past half century and the bestselling philosophical book of all time. A summer motorcycle trip across the American West undertaken by a father and his son, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions of how to live. Can a parent’s ferocious love for their child counter the everyday confusions of existence? Might the care for a technological object like a motorcycle lead to clarity? And when is a motorcycle not a motorcycle? Philosophy Talk is an occasional series of library presentations designed as a fun opportunity to connect the richness of philosophical thought to everyday life.

Come view this art exhibit at Ocean View Growing Grounds, commemorating the erased history of San Diego’s Japanese American communities and its ties to the current humanitarian crises happening locally and internationally.
