Abstract
David Skrbina opens this timely and intriguing text with a suitably puzzling line from the Diamond Sutra: "Mind that abides nowhere must come forth.", and he urges us to "de-emphasise the quest for the specifically human embodiment of mind" and follow Empedocles, progressing "with good will and unclouded attention" into the text which he has drawn together as editor. If we do, we are assured that it will "yield great things" (p. xi). This, I am pleased to say, is not an exercise in hyperbole.
