«Le zen dans l'art chevaleresque du tir à l'arc» is Eugen Herrigel's essay on Zen and archery, published by Dervy in paperback, in French.
German philosopher Eugen Herrigel settled in Japan and practised archery to understand Zen from within. In Japan, this discipline is not about aesthetic enjoyment or competition, but about training the mind and bringing it into contact with ultimate reality. The author simply narrates his doubts, failures and discoveries in that learning process.
Published in 1998, it has 125 pages and belongs to the collection «L'être et l'esprit»; the edition is in French, translated from German.
For those interested in Zen, Eastern thought and martial arts as a path of spiritual development.
Eugen Herrigel was a German philosopher, born in Lichtenau. He taught philosophy at Tohoku Imperial University in Sendai, Japan, from 1924 to 1929 and introduced Zen to large parts of Europe through his writings.
