Rezensionen

"This book invites readers to think deeply and creatively about the nature of the self and personhood. It provides tools to think about these topics in a philosophically rigorous way, but it also puts readers into dialogue with some of the best Christian, Buddhist, Confucian minds from past eras. The result is an inspiring example of historically and cross-culturally informed philosophic inquiry." - Bradford Cokelet, University of Kansas, USA
