Page created The Phaedrus stub page created containing basic summary of the dialogue. --Maria Cuervo 03:52, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

This should link to the Phaedrus character in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance [1]. It has been some time since I reread that, and I'm oversimplifying, but Pirsig's basic line is that Western society has been screwed up in some ways since Plato and Phaedrus was the last guy who had it right.
