Synopsis:
A fresh look at Dogen's Zen methodology. Kim's study clearly demonstrates that language, thinking and reason constitute the essence of Dogen's proposed Zen praxis, and that such a Zen opens up new possibilities for dialogue between Zen and contemporary philosophical thought.
Through meticulous textual analyses of and critical reflections on key passages, primarily from Dogen's Shobogenzo, Kim explicates hitherto underappreciated aspects of Dogen's religion, such as ambiguity of delusion and also of enlightenment, intricacies of negotiating the Way, the dynamic functions of emptiness, the realizational view of language, nonthinking as the essence of meditation, and a multifaceted conception of reason. Kim also responds to many recent developments in Zen studies.
"Kim has been very successful in providing novel, innovative means of interpreting Dogen's approach to such seminal issues as meditative thinking, nonduality, illusion, language, logical thinking, and realization. A new generation of readers will be eager to learn from the grand master of the field and will benefit from his insightful analysis of key passages from Dogen's collected works." Steven Heine. |
