"Nothing is wide-ranging, and the essays are rich and well
researched, drawing on all sides, including analytic philosophical
approaches to Buddhism."-- "Choice"
"Nothing's overarching contribution clarifies the problematics of
Buddhist critical theory as the intra-active, performative effects
of a mutualizing ethico-ontoepistemology. This invites critical
mindfulness of the immediate existential-material circumstances
that may at once inspire and constrain any given attempt/location
of Buddhist critical theory."-- "Religious Studies Review"
"I have contemplated and endured 'nothing' for so long that it did
not seem right to break my practice or offer other readers
something like insight, possibly a moment of sense making and
affirmation. But I break out of my trance to assert the emphatic
necessity of this book, so erudite without loading us down,
relentless in its ability to resignify. Sassy, brilliant, a genuine
engagement with and of thought, this work tunes us to a thrilling,
endorphinating way of thinking: my drug of choice."--Avital Ronell,
New York University
"The reader will delight in two important aspects of Nothing: a
multitude of contemporary Buddhist responses to the great political
and social changes that have affected Asian countries--imperialism,
colonialism, communism, corporate capitalism--and rigorous
elaboration of Lacanian psychoanalysis with Buddhist psychology.
This book is exceptional."--Alphonso Lingis, Pennsylvania State
University
