Others, equally impressive, evolve slowly, incrementally. But what causes a growing brain to develop a dysfunctional self in the first place? And by what means could it later become constructively transformed? In the following sections, we ask: Which words stand in the way of our understanding? How does one go about constructing a self? What are its unfruitful aspects? Finally we consider ways that the meditative dynamic may fruitfully restructure the self." (Austin---page 69.)

[Please see my 3 images of the actual book.] "The incorporation of Eshinni's letters into Shinran studies has benefited the scholarly world greatly by providing a more balanced and accurate understanding of Shinran's life and thought, but at the same time it has skewed the perception of the letters themselves. Passages in them dealing with Shinran tend to be stressed, whereas those less relevant to Shinran are usually undervalued or ignored. But if looked at apart from the selected filter of Shinran's writings, the letters can provide an image of Shin Buddhism as it was actually lived and practiced in the thirteenth century. This is in contrast to the idealized image found in doctrinal works. . . ."--- Dobbins, page 109.

Nishida says: 'Absolute contradiction is self-identity.' This is quite beyond the level of ordinary logic. It is difficult, impossible to understand. Contradiction itself cannot be united, cannot be 'identified' with itself." (From Conversations with D. T. Suzuki---page 81-2.)

Suzuki, King asks: "[A]t our last meeting, I brought up the subject of transcendence in Christianity and Buddhism. You remarked that it was a big subject and would take quite some time. So I'll start off with that now. This troublesome term 'transcendence' is used whenever we talk of religions of whatever sort. Therefore, I want to ask a 'double' question: In Buddhism how is 'transcendence' defined? 'What' is transcendent; and 'to' what does one 'transcend'?"---page 82.

The proof of this is the altogether lyrical piety of a Shankara, his hymns and invocations to the feminine as well as masculine aspects of the transcendent and immanent Divinity: to the Self who a priori is infinitely 'other,' but who in reality is infinitely 'ourselves.'"---end of Frithjof Schuon's article, page 8.

First edition of this comprehensive study of travellers in Africa, with particular "reference to the elucidation of the mystery that surrounded the central and lake regions" (Mendelssohn). It was written shortly before the famed expeditions of Livingstone, Burton, Speke, and Stanley. The Ireland-born William Desborough Cooley (c.1795-1883) emerged as a controversial writer on African geography. While working for the Edinburgh Review, he revealed the existence of Lake Tanganyika, then unknown to westerners. Cooley collated information from W. F. W. Owen and J. B. Emery, explorers of the East African coast, and Portuguese sources. His findings were published in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society in 1845 and elaborated upon in this work. Shortly thereafter, "practical exploration began to show that some details were wrong but Cooley became notorious for refusing to accept travellers' findings. He denied, for example, that there was snow on the summits of Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya and he insisted that lakes Tanganyika and Malawi were connected as one water" (ODNB). Provenance: from the collection of Humphrey Winterton, with his monogram book label in the front pastedown. Mendelssohn I, p. 379. Octavo. With engraved folding map frontispiece with wash colour in outline; 32 pp. advertisements at end. Original dark brown textured cloth, spine lettered in gilt, covers blind-stamped, top edge uncut, yellow coated endpapers. Slightly rubbed, minor mottling, occasional foxing. A very good copy.
