Description
Toshihiko Izutsu explores the intersection of philosophy and Zen Buddhism in this thought-provoking volume. Despite its reputation for being a non-discursive practice, Zen is shown to be rich in meaning and open to philosophical inquiry. The book delves into various topics, including the nature of satori, the concept of ego and egolessness, and the role of koan practice in Zen Buddhism.
