"Is there something wrong with our knowledge?" With this provocative question, Tarthang Tulku opens up a penetrating examination of the nature of knowledge, the conditioning of experience, and the fundamental operations of mind that limit our potential as human beings. Knowledge of Freedom engages the reader in a direct, personal inquiry into the human situation that encourages the questioning of all aspects of experience. This book raises fundamental questions about the dynamics of modern life and the mental habits that determine what we can think and do. It engages the currents of life on a visceral level, moving from the sweep of history to an intimate analysis of self and the notion of I. We discover that the knowledge that binds us can also be the knowledge that opens the path to freedom. A must read for all people interested in psychology and how to integrate knowledge into daily life.
