Jacobson presents Buddhism unencumbered by Western categories and concepts, free from the cognitive bias, from the concept-oriented, definition-minded preoccupations inherited from the ancient Greeks. It is an interpretation of the central ideas that have characterized all forms of Buddhism for 25centuries.Kenneth K. Inada notes that Jacobson has explored a field with authority and force. . . . He is at the cutting edge where others must now listen and follow. According to Herbert Guenther, This book is undoubtedly a major contribution to the field of sociophilosophical and sociocultural studies and to an understanding of the impact Buddhist thinking has on the contemporary Western mind.
