A propos de cet article

Printed in Japan. Date on cover and title page. First Printing. Frontispiece: Book Illustration by Teshima Toan, from 'Zenkun', Buddha's as Parable for Later Thought (Nagao Gadjin), Beyond Christianity (Stephen Morris), Zen and the Brain (James H. Austin), Translation by Janine A. Sawada---Teshima Toan's Commentary on Ikkyu's 'Mizu Kagami'; Review Article; Book Reviews; Notes: Nishitani Keiji; Books Received; Footnotes, 155 pages. This is a lovely copy with no wear and no markings, just a teensy bump at the top corner; stiff beige card-covers, printed in black. [Please see my 3 images of the actual book.] "For centuries, Zen training has been transforming the maladaptive self. Some changes occur in rare dramatic moments. Others, equally impressive, evolve slowly, incrementally. But what causes a growing brain to develop a dysfunctional self in the first place? And by what means could it later become constructively transformed? In the following sections, we ask: Which words stand in the way of our understanding? How does one go about constructing a self? What are its unfruitful aspects? Finally we consider ways that the meditative dynamic may fruitfully restructure the self." (Austin---page 69.) [See other issues of this journal listed separately.] As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…

Description de la boutique

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.…
