More about the book

Exploring the mental universe of Soto Zen master Keizan Jokin, this work delves into the complexities of Chan/Zen Buddhism through a postmodern lens. Rather than presenting Keizan as a singular thinker, Faure illustrates him as a cultural representative, embodying the paradoxes of the Soto school. The narrative contrasts the rationality of Chan/Zen doctrine with the rich, mythical psychological landscape in which Keizan existed, paralleling the experiences of his contemporary, Dante Alighieri.
