Fascinating Dialogue -- No Deception

Fascinating Dialogue -- No Deception,
This review is from: The Dalai Lama at MIT (Hardcover)
Contrary to what the previous reviewer has to say, the Dalai Lama is actually a significant contributor to this book. He participates in numerous panel discussions that are included in the text, and as always he has a number of extraordinarily insightful things to say. Thankfully, the Dalai Lama has opened this dialogue between Tibetan philosophy, with its sophisticated understanding of the interdependent relationship between subject and object, and contemporary Western cognitive science. The resulting discussion is likely to yield advances in our understanding of consciousness and the role that desire and self-awareness play in governing our ethical choices. Highly recommended.
