Description
This book is dedicated to every reader, that he may use it as best he may, which is by never forgetting that every reference to himself, every such noun or pronoun, inevitable if words are to convey meaning, does not in fact refer to a suppositional autonomous individual, unless specifically so stated, but to a phenomenon regarded as such, whose objective appearance can be named and described, but whose noumenality is all that he is.
REVIEW
I have only one object in writing books: to demonstrate that there could not be anyone to do it. As long as there is a you doing or not-doing, thinking or not-thinking, meditating or not-meditating you are no closer to home than the day you were born.
-Wei Wu Wel, from The Tenth Man
