Drawing on Zen as well as on Nietzsche's thought and its
ramifications in and for western culture, this book is a fervent
call for a re-visioning of philosophy as vocation. The author is
critical of the status quo and committed to intellectual integrity;
the result is a creative and adventurous enterprise which is no
longer exclusively identified with academia or with the methodology
of logic. Filtered through Nietzsche's hammer -- by which he
sounded out gods old and new -- Buddhism in the West can avoid the
pitfalls which emerged during its gestation period in the twentieth
century: otherworldly spiritualism, conservatism, denial of the
body. The philosophy of European Zen advocated by Manu Bazzano in
'Buddha is Dead: Nietzsche and the Dawn of European Zen' is an
unconditional affirmation of living and dying to their fullest. It
is an extraordinary fertile viewpoint that will be appreciated by
all those who are interested in Eastern philosophy and religions,
and who seek life-affirming wisdom.
