Robert M. Ellis Libri

    Robert M. Ellis è il fondatore della Middle Way Society, dedicata allo sviluppo della teoria e pratica della Via di Mezzo oltre i limiti della tradizione buddista. Il suo dottorato in Filosofia ha dato inizio al suo lavoro nello sviluppo del pensiero della Via di Mezzo come filosofia pratica innovativa, attingendo a vari aspetti del pensiero moderno. Il suo approccio è descritto da Iain McGilchrist come “una deviazione ad angolo retto rispetto al pensiero tipico del mondo occidentale moderno”.

      'Parables of the Middle Way' combines fiction and commentary to provide various imaginative ways into the core themes of Middle Way Philosophy already developed in Robert M Ellis's other books. The stories are either original, or adapted from a range of sources: philosophical, Buddhist and Christian. They include the story of a ship caught in a strait between two intractably opposed ports, an inside-out version of Plato's cave, a set of variations of the Good Samaritan suggesting all the other ways of doing good, and the early life of the Buddha transposed to eighteenth century England. Robert M. Ellis is the founder of the Middle Way Society, author of 'Migglism' and of the 'Middle Way Philosophy' series. He has a Ph.D. in Philosophy as well as a long-standing interest in fiction, and is devoted to developing new and more adequate ways of thinking that can be applied in practice.
