Each book in the Perspectives on Time, Space and Knowledge series has its own flavor. Light of Knowledge offers thoughtful, penetrating essays that explore the vision through the eyes of serious practitioners. The essay by Hal Gurish on "transparency" may be the most immediately accessible, for it focuses on the level of experience. Jack Petranker asks whether a TSK challenge to the private self could transform our political culture; this essay has been assigned in university courses on political theory. Ron Purser offers a very personal look at applying TSK to teaching in the context of management. The other essays are also by long-term students, who share their passion and commitment for the value of this vision. A special treat is the essay by Tarthang Tulku, which explores what it would mean to "turn perception on its edge."
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Store description
I started selling used books in 1985 in Davis, California, and online in 1998. I enjoy the process of using language to fully describe the advantages and blemishes of each book. Language can capture details that a photograph might miss, but if you are visually-oriented, I am happy to send a photo--please include your phone number, since it is easier to send a picture via text than email. I am of "mature" years, but will continue to sell books as long as I am able: I enjoy it too much! I am a mere temporary custodian, sending each book to its ultimate shelf--the one where it is appreciated the most.…
