Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel Paperback 91 pages Vintage books by Random House (1971 printing) Zen in the Art of Archery is a short book by German philosophy professor Eugen Herrigel, originally published in 1948, about his experiences studying Kyudo, a form of Japanese archery, when he lived in Japan in the 1920s. It is credited with introducing Zen to Western audiences in the late 1940s and 1950s. The book sets forth theories about motor learning. Herrigel has an accepting spirit towards and about unconscious control of outer activity Westerners heretofore considered wholly to be under conscious-waking control and direction. For example, a central idea in the book is how through years of practice, a physical activity becomes effortless both mentally and physically, as if our habit body executes complex and difficult movements without conscious control from the mind. Herrigel describes Zen in archery as follows: "(...) The archer ceases to be conscious of himself as the one who is engaged in hitting the bull's-eye which confronts him. This state of unconscious is realized only when, completely empty and rid of the self, he becomes one with the perfecting of his technical skill, though there is in it something of a quite different order which cannot be attained by any progressive study of the art (...)"

The crown of authority is worn by the format 'coloring book,' in a style that repeats with difference. Anarchy enters via a swarm of figures from philosophical, literary, theological, and art history, each with a quotation. These distribute themselves over fifty-two drawings, producing little machines that are desirous of color and driven by paradox, whose "organization of surface ... assures the resonance between two series."Wow. That was some serious philosopher-speak. Let me try and decode that into basic English. This book has a bunch of famous philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, and literary hoity-toities each with a quotation. There are 52 drawings many of which are somewhat inscrutable to non-philosophers.
