Beyond Transcendence in Law and Philosophy is a strikingly original synthesis of Eastern and Western thought. It will enlighten both philosophers and legal theorists, as well as those who are interested in or open to the insights of Zen Buddhism.
Bringing an Eastern sensibility into contact with three most important themes in Western philosophy, investigates three important philosophers: Martin Heidegger - on being, Emmanuel Levinas - on ethics, and Ludwig Wittgenstein - on language. It is for philosophers and legal theorists, and for those who are interested in Zen Buddhism.
"[The author's] mediation on 'the compassionate pursuit of the ordinary' is a valuable gift to his readers... This accessible book will profit anyone with an interest in critical legal theory or comparative philosophy." - Social & Legal Studies, vol. 16 no.4 (December 2007)
