This collection of philosophical essays by a student of Zen Buddhism synthesizes aspects of Western culture and science with the author's insights from his Zen practice, revealing understandings into both. The book discusses a wide and provocative range of topics including Zen and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Zen and artificial intelligence, Zen and the Postmodern condition, Zen and Christian afterlife, Zen and the problematic questions of free will and morality, and Zen and the nature of consciousness, among others. This book is a stimulating and off-beat philosophical tour that will challenge how the reader looks at things.
