Nothingness and Desire

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of nothingness and desire, this collection of lectures re-examines self, God, morality, and the East-West philosophical divide. Heisig employs a "philosophical antiphony" to contrast perspectives from both traditions, addressing global issues like technological devastation and cultural expropriation. Emphasizing the importance of practice, he encourages readers to see life clearly, viewing objects as reflections that reveal both the world and the self. This approach aims to foster a more profound understanding of reality and informed action.
