Description
Overcoming Modernity: A New Paradigm for Thinking. In this collection of writings, Yasuo Yuasa challenges the dominant Western way of thinking, proposing a more holistic worldview that integrates space-and-time and mind-and-body. By exploring topics such as language, being, psychology, logic, synchronicity, and paranormal phenomena, Yuasa offers an alternative to the scientific worldview inherited from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Yuasa's new paradigm is rooted in "image-thinking," a mode of thinking that incorporates image-experience. Through this approach, he brings together Western and East Asian thought to create a fresh understanding of reality. This book provides a unique opportunity for readers to engage with Yuasa's ideas and consider the possibilities of a more integrated way of thinking. Paperback, 256 pages.
