Absence: On the Culture and Philosophy of the Far East Book by Byung-Chul Han

In Absence: On the Culture and Philosophy of the Far East, Byung-Chul Han contrasts Western philosophy’s focus on “essence”—defined, stable being—with Far Eastern thought, which emphasizes “absence” and the fluidity of “the way” (dao). Han explores how this distinction influences various aspects of culture, including aesthetics, architecture, and art, highlighting the differences between Western and Far Eastern perspectives.
