>
> Many Western philosophers are poorly informed about the issues involved in
> nonduality, since this topic is usually associated with various kinds of
> absolute idealism in the West, or mystical traditions in the East.
> Increasingly, however, this topic is finding its way into Western
> philosophical debates. In this "scholarly but leisurely and very readable"
> (Spectrum Review) analysis of the philosophies of nondualism of (Hindu)
> Vedanta, Mahayana Buddhism, and Taoism, Loy, who is a Zen practitioner,
> extracts what he calls "a core doctrine" of nonduality of seer and seen from
> these three worldviews and then applies the doctrine in various ways,
> including a critique of Derrida's deconstructionism. (This is an important
> work addressing one of the central patterns of Asian thinking.)
