"Nothingness and Desire is a very worthwhile and stimulating read. It traces many of the problems of the East-West comparative discourse. It opens up the pathways that Professor Heisig reinvigorates for (as he himself suggests) the next generation of philosophers. His creativity deserves praise, and it makes demands on the next generation to open up further cross-cultural 'ways' and to be as creative in our explorations of them as he is with his.-- ""Philosophy East & West"" Nothingness and Desire offers a valuably direct immersion in East-West philosophical exchange and its real potential for tackling pressing political problems (beyond the platitudes that sometimes afflict inter-religious dialogue). It is valuable too for the quality of the insights into human life that emerge in the course of the analysis.-- ""Japanese Journal of Religious Studies"""
