"This sparkling book is an antidote to technical philosophy closed to non- specialists. Instead of working through abstract ideas detached from ordinary life, its chapters and exercises open fresh access to philosophy that deepens as well as widens a direct and playful engagement with reality." -- John C. Maraldo, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of North Florida, USA "This book presents the dialogue between the phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger and the Japanese Zen practice integrating philosophy of NIshida and Ueda. In it, the deep dimension of pre-linguistic experience accessible through Husserl's phenomenological reduction is clearly revealed, from which the subject-object duality arises and into which it dissolves." -- Ichiro Yamaguchi, Professor emeritus, Faculty of Letters, Toyo University, Japan "Drawing on Japanese and other Asian as well as European thinkers, this refreshingly accessible book reenvisions the phenomenological epoché as a practice of suspending our pre-judgments-of removing our "colored glasses"-so that we can learn to cooperatively play with the various ways in which reality manifests itself." -- Bret W. Davis, Professor and Higgins Chair in Philosophy, Loyola University Maryland, USA.
