Emptiness is a term that puzzles, appeals and infuriates in equal measure. Gay Watsons marvellous book provides the first in-depth study of the concept of emptiness as it is used in contexts as diverse as ancient Buddhist philosophy and the practice of contemporary art. A Philosophy of Emptiness is a penetrating inquiry into the liberating and challenging implications of an idea whose time may now be upon us. * Stephen Batchelor, author of Confession of a Buddhist Atheist * This insightful and fascinating dive into emptiness stimulates on every page. * Wayne McGregor, resident choreographer, Royal Ballet * Overflowing with clarity, insight, dry humour, and sheer verve in its explorations of reality and our consciousness . . . this wide-ranging examination of existence and experience is both contemporary and likely to become a classic. * Rick Hanson, author of Buddhas Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom * Gay Watson makes us think profoundly about that challenge of action and inaction, in the arts and in life . . . a most stimulating reflection on the pressures of our time, which will give everyone pause for thought. * Nicholas Kenyon, Managing Director, Barbican Centre *
