Reflections on the Game of Go: The Empty Board 1994 - 2004, William S. Cobb

This book contains a series of essays on go written over the last decade by William Cobb, professor emeritus of philosophy from the College of William and Mary and an International Go Instructor from the Nihon Kiin. Most of the essays focus on ways in which go can be related to Buddhist views of the search for enlightenment, a connection that has been recognized for over a thousand years in Buddhist countries, but little explored in English language literature. Cobb’s reflections also consider other perspectives on the game, from the question of which of the fine arts most closely resembles the art of go, to the appropriateness of using martial language to describe the game, to the similarity of go to football.
