The Monk and the Philosopher by Jean-Francois Revel
The most groundbreaking meeting of Eastern philosophy and Western culture to date.‘The book skilfully educates readers who might be new to both eastern and western philosophy without alienating those already familiar with either strandNeatly weaving in details of the father-son relationship, and why and how Matthieu turned to Buddhism, the discussion follows a logical and seamless line through every philosophical and metaphysical aspect of life… A wonderful book.”
Time Out
‘A serious and stimulating book handling some very abstract matter with sympathy and vigour.’
The Sunday Telegraph
