Description

Explore the mental universe of medieval Japanese Buddhism with Visions of Power: Imagining Medieval Japanese Buddhism. Published by Princeton University Press, this work by Bernard Faure examines the imaginaire of the Soto Zen master Keizan Jokin (1268-1325). Building on his previous research into Chan Buddhism and Japanese Zen, Faure uses postmodernist critical techniques to analyze the culture and traditions of the Soto school. This book functions as an intellectual biography that views Keizan not just as an individual thinker, but as a representative of his era. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the paradoxes within the Soto school and the complex mental landscapes of the period. This text is an essential resource for those studying religious history, Zen traditions, or the cultural developments of medieval Japan. It provides a scholarly look at how masters like Keizan shaped the religious identity and mental frameworks of their time.
