In this revolutionary book, she doesn't push any religious or spiritual agenda but simply presents the methods used in Zen as an aid to help us understand consciousness and identity - concepts which have stumped scientists and philosophers - in an exciting new way. Each chapter takes as its starting point one of Zen's - and science's - most intriguing questions such as, Am I conscious now? and How does thought arise?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Blackmore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851686428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851686421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ONEWorld Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Susan Blackmore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372451713279,"sku":"9781851686421","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_484749b8-fed6-4ae1-8637-5da9ad5f6d3a.jpg?v=1732725983","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ten-zen-questions-susan-blackmore-9781851686421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
