Reviews
'Youru Wang carefully examines in this provocative and systematic work the variety of linguistic tactics involved in two ways of speaking that challenge coventional speech and understanding.' - Journal of Chinese Philosophy,Volume 32, Issue 4 (December 2005) '...this is a very rich book, articulate, nuanced, and thoughtful, rewarding its readers with a systematic appreciation of why the Zhuangzi and some Chan Buddhist texts are so effective in promoting their respective soteriological vision through a dazzlingly creative use of language.' - TAO JIANG, Rutgers University, Journal of Chinese Religions, 2008
