Abstract
Reason in Zen practice is not jettisoned in favor of the irrational but may be used as a bridge to the suprarational. Metaphor- ical descriptions of place, using the language of both philosophy and poetry, provide forms for this use of reason. Nishida's philosophical text, Topological Logic and the Religious Worldview, functions as a bridge between these philosophical and rhetorical modes, helping in the process understanding between East and West but perhaps sacri- ficing somewhat the creative ambiguity of the koan tradition.
