I just can't let that go. Sounds too anti-intellecutal. I like philosophy - it's an attempt at clear thinking to consider the world both as a whole and in parts.
People could use a lot more of rational analysis and critical questioning. Things might not be in such a mess. Philosophy isn't a concern to hardly anyone, anyway. Most of what we do is based on irrational thinking - desires, anger, guilt, wishful thinking, and so on. Seems Zen needs to address that, rather than an honest attempt to use the mind well. --Michael --- sitteraprentice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of > solving > them.It is a way of getting rid of philosophy, because > philosophy is a > sort of neurosis." > > words from my zen teacher. > > > gassho > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
