Opis

Drawing on the works of noted authors such as Alan Watts and Fritjof Capra, Fingers Versus The Moon explores the psychology of Eastern thought, and the importance of integrating it into Western psychological perspectives. In this thought-provoking volume, Dr. Kline points out why contemporary Western psychology needs the kind of re-conceptualization that revolutionized physics at the beginning of the twentieth century. Looking beyond the labels of mysticism and spirituality he identifies the underlying psychology of the Buddhist Sutras - a psychology supported by both theory and empirical research - and explains why it is more important today than ever.
