Where Neurocognition Meets the Master:Attention and Metacognition in Zen

  • Chapter
Soul, Psyche, Brain: New Directions in the Study of Religion and Brain-Mind Science

Abstract

In a classic Zen story, retold by Kapleau, a man approached Ikkyu, a Zen master, and asked for the highest wisdom.

To follow the lead of Nietzsche, James, and Jung, if the higher spiritual traditions of humanity might actually refer to something important... then some sort of account of how they could occur as an expression of the structure of the human mind will be necessary. —H.T. Hunt, On the Nature of Consciousness
