"For the thoughtful Westerner this must be one of the most clear and perceptive accounts of Zen available. Thoroughly new is Kasulis' attempt to locate the Zen understanding of the person in secular Japanese assumptions." --Times Literary Supplement


Additional Notes:

I found this book relevant to include because of the discussion of Zen and the end of categorizations. I have used this to support an end to gender, and have found it helpful in understanding Kate Bornstein's gender-abolitionist position.
