But when he gets to China the roles are reversed: much more time is spent on the development Buddhist doctrines than on language or logic. And the final section on Japan, which actually constitutes nearly half the book, is overwhelmingly focused on the beliefs of various Japanese Buddhist sects. Interesting as that may be, the discussion just rambles on without any structure at all, with only scattered references to language and logic. I couldn't discern any clear ideas about Japanese thought here. In conclusion, after a promising start this book grew tedious and lost focus quite badly. I can only recommend it to students of Buddhism, particularly those looking for a pan-Asian perspective.
