The Unity of Knowledge and Action: Toward a Nonrepresentational Theory of Knowledge

"The author's discussion of works of Davidson, Rorty, Taylor, and Dennett not only lays out the central problems of representational theories within epistemology itself but also elucidates the significant implications of such epistemology for our understanding of the self, of the human mind, and of the way we experience, one another and the world." -- Journal of the American Academy of Religion

"Frisina has moved comparative Asian/Western philosophical activity beyond its usual level of mere comparison to that of the active engagement of alternative sensibilities in which each participant to the debate is able to benefit from the others. This is a significant contribution to the current engagement between American pragmatism and Asian Neo-Confucianism that promises to bear fruit for generations to come." -- David L. Hall, coauthor of Thinking from the Han: Self, Truth, and Transcendence in Chinese and Western Culture

"Frisina has put together an unlikely group of philosophers to make a compelling argument. It is a 'page turner' and a most enjoyable read." -- Roger T. Ames, coeditor of Self and Deception: A Cross-Cultural Philosophical Enquiry
