In her creative hands  enchanting Indian myths and stories illuminate and are illuminated by authors as different as Aeschylus  Plato  Freud  Jung  Kurl Gdel  Thomas Kuhn  Borges  Picasso  Sir Ernst Gombrich  and many others. This richly suggestive book challenges many of our fundamental assumptions about ourselves and our world.\" Mark C. Taylor  New York Times Book Review  \"Dazzling analysis. . . . The book is firm and convincing once you appreciate its central point  which is that in traditional Hindu thought the dream isnt an accident or byway of experience  but rather the locus of epistemology. In its willful confusion of categories  its teasing readiness to blur the line between the imagined and the real  the dream actually embodies the whole problem of knowledge. . . . OFlaherty wants to make your mental flesh creep  and she succeeds.\" Mark Caldwell  Village Voice\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651873562677,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226618544","price":265.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780226618548.jpg?v=1781843344","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dreams-illusion-and-other-realities-9780226618548","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
