Description

Explore the unique ways language functions in ancient Eastern traditions with this scholarly study from Routledge. This book represents the first systematic attempt to analyze the linguistic strategies found within Daoist Zhuangzi and Chan Buddhism. By examining original texts, the work investigates three specific areas: deconstructive strategy, the liminology of language, and indirect communication. Rather than looking at language in isolation, this research places all findings strictly within their original soteriological contexts. This approach allows for a deeper understanding of how these traditions use speech to convey profound truths. The study provides new perspectives that challenge many conventional understandings of Daoist and Chan Buddhist thought. This text is an essential resource for those responding to recent critiques of these two traditions. It offers a rigorous examination of how language is used to navigate spiritual paths, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian history or religious studies.
