Muireartaigh Rossa O - The Zen Buddhist Philosophy Of D. T. Suzuki Strengths Foibles Intrigues And Precision - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: D. T. Suzuki (1870 - 1966) reached global fame for his writings on Zen Buddhism. In this introduction to his theories of self knowledge and the world Suzuki is presented as a Buddhist philosopher in his own right. Beginning with a biography of his life providing the historical context to his thought and discussing Suzuki's influences chapters cover the Zen notion of the non - self and Suzuki's Zen view of consciousness language and religious truths. His ideas about philosophy and radical views on rationality and faith come to life in two new complete translations of The Place of Peace in our Heart (1894) and Religion and Science (1949) which helps us to understand why Suzuki's description of Zen attracted the attention of many leading intellectuals and helped it become a household name in the English - speaking world. Offering the first complete overview of Suzuki's approach reputation and legacy as a philosopher this is for anyone interested in the philosophical relevance and development of Mahayana Buddhism today.
