      Compares the metaphysical and mystical thought-systems of Sufism and Taoism and discovers that, although historically unrelated, the two share features and patterns which prove fruitful for a transhistorical dialogue. The author's original and suggestive approach opens new doors in the study of comparative philosophy and mysticism.

      Sufism and Taoism
    • Zen experience defies all thinking and linguistic description and simply affirms what is evidently real: "The ordinary way—that precisely is the Way." After questioning the nature of reality, the Zen student discovers that what remains is what is. Although it seems that Zen would not lend itself to philosophical discussion, that all conceptualization would dissolve in light of this empiricism, in this volume, the author demonstrates that the "silence" of Zen is in fact pregnant with words.A variety of topics are discussed: the experience of satori, ego and egolessness, Zen sense and nonsense, koan practice, the influence of Zen on Japanese painting and calligraphy and much more.

      Toward a Philosophy of Zen Buddhism
    • Die Frage nach dem „Wesen“ von etwas ist eine der Grundfragen der abendländischen Philosophie. Welche Wesens-Konzepte hat die östliche Philosophie hervorgebracht? Welche bewusstseinsphilosophischen Implikationen beinhalten sie? Diesen und anderen Fragen zur Problematik von „Bewusstsein und Wesen“ geht Izutsu Toshihiko in seinem gleichnamigen Hauptwerk nach. Izutsu führt seine Leser mit beeindruckender Sachkenntnis durch die Traditionen chinesischen und japanischen Denkens, durch die islamische Philosophie und die jüdische Kabbalistik. Mit seiner sachorientierten Einstellung und dem ständigen Bemühen, Bezugspunkte zur westlichen Philosophie, Dichtung und Psychologie herzustellen, gelingt es Izutsu, dem Leser die östlichen Wesensdiskurse in ihrer ganzen Komplexität und Vielfalt vor Augen zu führen.
