Review Quotes:
"The collection should be considered essential reading for those working in or interested in the field of Japanese philosophy. But, nonspecialists will also find many accessible articles that engage current issues in critical theory (such as John Krummel's essay on the social imaginary) and gender studies (such as the chapter by Erin A. McCarthy on comparative feminism and the chapter by Yusa on gender and sexuality in Zen philosophy) ... Overall, the collection of essays that Yusa has compiled is a rich repository of thought-provoking new work in Japanese philosophy." - Religious Studies Review
"[An] excellent philosophical book. I highly recommend it and hope that more readers will join our constructive discussions in the field of Japanese philosophy." - Reading Religion
