More about the book

Exploring the philosophies of Japanese Buddhist thinkers Dogen, Hisamatsu, and Nishitani, this book delves into the concept of the Formless Self, particularly as articulated by Hisamatsu. Stambaugh clarifies how Oriental nothingness differs fundamentally from Western nihilism, presenting it instead as a constructive force that allows existence to flourish. Through an analysis of Hisamatsu's and Nishitani's works, the author offers a unique interpretation of self and nothingness, shedding light on these complex philosophical ideas.
