Who this is
“He drew the sharpest line ever drawn between consciousness and matter — sharper than Descartes' — and put the mind, startlingly, on the matter side of it.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Reality is two utterly different things — consciousness, which only watches, and nature, which does everything else, including your thinking — and suffering ends the moment you stop confusing the two.”
