Description

This captivating new book, a milestone in Buddhist and comparative studies, is a compilation of seventeen essays celebrating the work and thought of Nolan Pliny Jacobson. The essays in this volume are organized around Jacobson's activities, publications, and interests. Authored by an impressive selection of scholars, the essays are grouped into four sections - "Historical Context," "Central Issues," "Practical Implications," and "The Japan Emphasis." Hajime Nakamura, Charles Hartshorne, Kenneth K. Inada, Seizo Ohe, and thirteen other philosophers discuss freedom, creativity, and Buddhism's self-corrective nature, setting forth their reasons for sharing Jacobson's ideas and visions.
