The Body, Self-Cultivation, and Ki-Energy (SUNY series, The Body in Culture, History, and Religion) - Tapa dura

"Among Japan's contemporary philosophers, Yuasa is one of the most provocative and far-reaching. His work critiques in a fruitful way the foundational ideas in Asian and Western philosophy, science, medicine, and the study of religion. He not only shows how ideas are culturally embedded, but also suggests how we can work across those cultural lines to make our theories more universal and more efficacious. Of his works available in English, this is not only his latest, but perhaps his most accessible." -- Thomas P. Kasulis, The Ohio State University
