I am a philosophy fiend, and when I went to my library to pick up works by Husserl and Wittgenstein, I ambled down to the eastern section and took sight of this book. After opening to the foreword and then reading the introduction, I was hooked. I could not believe, one how well the thoughts flowed and two how the ideas in Buddhism and have been once again shown to powerful and greatly influential. Though some passages had to be read again, just like any philosophical work, in order to fully grasp the whole concept the reader must think. But that is the whole goal of philosophy and the dialectic process, right? This book certainly made me think and made me go back through my many many years of philosophy to grasp the remarkable notions. To just recommend this book would do it injustice; this book deserved both a recommendation and a thoughtful discussion of its ideas. Without books like this, the world would surely be an irksome place to reside.
