Beschreibung:
Gay Watson is the author of Beyond Happiness and The Resonance of Innocence, and coeditor of Psychology of Awakening. She lives in Devon, UK.
"A Philosophy of Emptiness" offers an alternative view, a path without foundation or guarantor. Via a tour of early and non-Western philosophy, Watson uncovers a rich history of emptiness, taking us from Buddhism, Taoism, and religious mysticism to the contemporary world of philosophy, science, and art practice. Most Western philosophies explicitly or implicitly, are concerned with substance and foundation yet the 20th century has seen the resurgence of emptiness: Watson offers reasons why such an apparently unappealing concept might have attracted modern musicians, artists, and scientists, as well as pre-eminent thinkers throughout the ages.
