BLOG POST #3: WAYS OF LOOKING AT THE WORLD

The narrator of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance divides human understanding into two categories: romantic and classical.  In paragraph 1, briefly articulate the distinction between the two. Then, in paragraphs 2 and 3, explore how you fit into either of these dichotomies. Give examples that illustrate the tendencies that make you, personally, either classical and/or romantic. In paragraph 4, conclude by discussing if you agree with the narrator that “both are valid ways of looking at the world although irreconcilable with each other.” (Chap. 7—a few pages in)

For visual thinkers, this video helps illustrate the two categories well.
