It is a commonplace that while Asia is nondualistic, the West,
because of its uncritical reliance on Greek-derived intellectual
standards, is dualistic. Dualism is a deep-seated habit of thinking
and acting in all spheres of life through the prism of binary
opposites leads to paralyzing practical and theoretical
difficulties. Asia can provide no assistance for the foreseeable
future because the West finds Asian nondualism, especially that of
Mahayana Buddhism, too alien and nihilistic. On the other hand,
postmodern thought, which purports to deliver us from the dualisms
embedded in modernity, turns out to be merely a
pseudo-postmodernism. This book's novel idea is that the West
already contains within one of its more marginalized roots, that of
ancient Hebrew culture, a pre-philosophical form of nondualism
which makes possible a new form of nondualism, one to which the
West can subscribe. This new nondualism, inspired by Buddhism but
not identical to it, is an epistemological, ontological,
metaphysical, and praxical middle way both for the West and also
between East and West.>
