Japanese Zen Buddhist Philosophy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Peer-reviewed encyclopedia entry treating Zen as philosophy: koan practice versus just-sitting, the critique of dualistic thinking, Zen accounts of time, space and the everyday lifeworld, and why the tradition positions itself against discursive reasoning. The free counterpart to McRae: where he supplies the history, this supplies the philosophical content - what Zen actually claims about knowledge, self and time, stated in argument form rather than anecdote.
