Philosophy of the Buddha: An Introduction de Christopher Gowans

Philosophy of the Buddha: An Introduction

Autor Christopher Gowans
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mai 2003
Philosophy of the Buddha is a philosophical introduction to the teaching of the Buddha. It carefully guides readers through the basic ideas and practices of the Buddha, including kamma (karma), rebirth, the not-self doctrine, the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, ethics, meditation, non-attachment, and Nibbâna (Nirvana).

The book includes an account of the life of the Buddha as well as comparisons of his teaching with practical and theoretical aspects of some Western philosophical outlooks, both ancient and modern. Most distinctively, Philosophy of the Buddha explores how Buddhist enlightenment could enable us to overcome suffering in our lives and reach our full potential for compassion and tranquillity.

This is one of the first books to introduce the philosophy of the Buddha to students of Western philosophy. Christopher W. Gowans' style is exceptionally clear and appropriate for anyone looking for a comprehensive introduction to this growing area of interest.

Recenzii

"The book is in fact an engaging and eminently readable overview of Buddhism using the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon in order to demonstrate 'that what the Buddha taught may be fruitfully understood and evaluated as a philosophy.' Indeed, this is one of the few and in my view the best, philosophical treatments of Buddhism by a Western philosopher." -- Peter Vernezze, Weber State University, Ancient Philosophy
