Summary: Mediocre
Comment: Heisig's work attempts to summarize the entirety of the three main Kyoto school philosophers. The summaries range from alright to bad. He glosses over terms quickly and doesn't explore any depth nor does he point out points of controversy. Even though these are summaries, they seem fairly vapid. It doesn't help that many of the works discussed are not available in English. The capstone for the book is when he talks about why these philosophers aren't studied much. One can't help but think this is the thing he got most correct. They don't fit into most phil. departments and they don't fit into most East Asian studies departments. This book doesn't seem fit for an intro course nor does it seem fit for a focused seminar. Unfortunately, Heisig's book is forgettable.
