Synopsis:
This book is the first to engage Zen Buddhism philosophically on crucial issues from a perspective that is informed by the traditions of western philosophy and religion. It focuses on one renowned Zen master, Huang Po, whose recorded sayings exemplify the spirit of the golden age of Zen in medieval China, and on the transmission of these writings to the west. The author makes a bold attempt to articulate a post-romantic understanding of Zen applicable to contemporary world culture. While deeply sympathetic to the Zen tradition, he raises serious questions about the kinds of claims that can be made on its behalf.
"Addresses questions more directly, and answers them more successfully, than anything else I have read on the topic…this book goes far in determining what of a de-mythologized Zen tradition remains alive and important for us today." Asian Philosophy. |
