5.0 out of 5 stars An Actual Review
The title of the book says a lot about it (unsurprisingly). If you are not interested in system cybernetics, such as the first 2 reviewers, you should not (obviously) pick up the book and attempt to read it. To say "I don't understand it so its bad" or "there's too many big words" is really infantile. This book is aimed at the intellectual. His other books, such as...

1.0 out of 5 stars How not to understand Madhymika
This book attributes inconsistent premisses to Madhaymika, and then, wonder of wonder, finds that contradictions can be deduced. Dumb beyond words. Don't waste your money.

His other books, such as Radiant Mind are entirely experiential therapeutic meditation handbooks that anyone can understand! Read those instead, if you don't have a philosophy degree.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible book, March 23, 2006

This review is from: Reasoning Into Reality: A System Cybernetics Model and Therapeutic Interpretation of Buddhist Middle Path Analysis (Paperback)
This is a terrible book. It is all just a bunch of mumbo jumbo gobbledy gook. It says nothing. The author is just trying to see how many big words he can put in a book, all saying nothing. Don't waste your money, this is not even a joke of a book it is so bad.
