"This book is both unique and outstanding. In very few other volumes have I come across such cross-cultural, diverse, and high quality responses to an author's work. It is truly rare to find a volume that is so broad ranging and at the same time clearly and coherently organized, just as it is rare to find a scholar of Dallmayr's range and depth. He counts as one of the great humanists of our time, and this book is a richly merited tribute to him." — Joseph Prabhu, editor of The Intercultural Challenge of Raimon Panikkar
