Hi Dana, Sorry if my topic has caused you to feel disgust, I just thought it was a interesting subject.

Don't get me started on Zukav, Capra, or any of that ilk. They seem to think that, if they can show that physics and Zen, Daoism, or whatever, yield the same worldview/analogous worldviews, they've 'proven' something profound about the nature of reality. The worst sort of quasi-mystical reductionism / scientific realism! And, I think, those particular -isms, along with ANY other ontological theories, are SO FAR from a satisfactory philosophical theory of EITHER the empirical sciences OR of Zen, Daoism, whatever, that . . . I can't express my disgust! But, there, you see, you got me arguing 'isms, drawing distinctions, etc. "DON'T DO THAT!" shouts my internal Zen master, smacking me with her Keisaku. <grin> Dana ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill!" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 4:24 AM Subject: [Zen] Re: Zen and the art of happiness > Brett, > > I haven't read Zen and the Art of Happiness. > > I have read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
