About the Author :
David R. Loy is Besl Family Chair Professor of Ethics/Religion and Society at Xavier University. He is the author of several books, including A Buddhist History of the West: Studies in Lack, also published by SUNY Press, and Money, Sex, War, Karma: Notes for a Buddhist Revolution.

Review :
"Loy ... writes from a comparative perspective to determine what is vital and what is culturally outdated in Buddhism and Western worldviews. The ethical challenges hindering liberation are, in his opinion, the human propensity to cling to dualistic modes of thought and behavior, which, he argues convincingly, is the source of the violence, poverty, and exploitation that are presently destroying the human community and the life-forms with which humankind shares planet Earth." - CHOICE "These essays, each one in its own right, are extremely thought-provoking. The various topics addressed are indeed significant, timely, and crucial toward understanding events and situations in our contemporary global scene." - Ruben L. F. Habito, author of Experiencing Buddhism: Ways of Wisdom and Compassion
