Recenzje

'After reading Heidegger's and Derrida's critiques of the "metaphysics of presence" that pervades the Western tradition, do you find yourself asking: But what's the alternative? If so, this breathtakingly bold and inspiringly insightful book is for you. You will find it more far-reaching as it deftly escorts you into the philosophical and aesthetic heart of the Far East.'Bret W. Davis, author of Zen Pathways: An Introduction to the Philosophy and Practice of Zen Buddhism
