Reviews
This refreshing book slices through the stale standoff between uncritical admirers and polemical detractors of this hugely influential international interpreter of Zen, a book that takes D. T. Suzuki seriously as a philosopher-albeit one who was deeply ambivalent about the limits of, and yet need for, philosophy. * Bret W. Davis, Professor & Higgins Chair in Philosophy, Loyola University Maryland, USA *
Rossa O Muireartaigh provides a thought-provoking account and evaluation of the merits and controversies surrounding the legacy of the crucial modern Zen Buddhist thinker, D. T. Suzuki. This book, which features a couple of new translations of Suzuki's essays, is highly recommended to researchers and students of Japanese religion and society. * Steven Heine, Professor of Religious Studies and History Director of Asian Studies, Florida International University, USA *
