Zen and Comparative Studies
Part Two of a Two-Volume Sequel to Zen and Western Thought
By Masao Abe
University of Hawaii Press
This volume concludes the two-volume sequel to Masao Abe’s Zen and Western Thought. Like its companion, Buddhism and Interfaith Dialogue, this work contains many previously published essays and papers by Abe. Here he clarifies the true meaning of Buddhist emptiness in comparison with the Aristotelian notion of substance and the Whiteheadean notion of process.
