Metaphysics and the Meaning of Life: Towards a Philosophy of Zen Buddhism

Metaphysics and the Meaning of Life: Towards a Philosophy of Zen Buddhism

Joshua Davis
0/5 ( ratings)
"This book is about the meaning of life, but it addresses it in a particular way, by looking at the related question: What is the nature of reality?" Thus Davis begins upon a fascinating exploration of the history of philosophy and metaphysics, from the Presocratics to the Vienna Circle. Along the way, Davis proposes a highly original system of metaphysics called apprehension theory, and shows how it can be used to resolve classic problems in metaphysics such as the mind-body problem and the problem of free will. Davis also describes how apprehension theory relates to the new science of evolutionary psychology. Throughout the work, Davis makes important connections between Eastern and Western philosophy. Ultimately, Davis views apprehension theory as a form of Zen philosophy.
An accessible, insightful, and highly original work, Metaphysics and the Meaning of Life is a must read for anyone interested in philosophy and metaphysics.
