Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Buddhist philosophical tradition is vast and diverse, encompassing texts in various canonical languages. This complexity can make it challenging for those trained in Western philosophy to approach it for the first time, as well as for educators seeking suitable textbooks that represent the tradition's diversity, provide reliable translations of primary texts, and highlight key philosophical issues. This volume addresses that gap by compiling significant philosophical texts from each major Buddhist tradition, with each text translated and introduced by an authority in Buddhist studies. The introductions contextualize the texts and outline the philosophical issues and arguments they present, serving as a valuable guide for readers and instructors. The volume is organized into topical sections that align with Western philosophical structures, each prefaced by an essay that explains Buddhist perspectives on the subject matter and the relevance of the included texts. This collection is ideal for intermediate or advanced courses in Buddhist philosophy, making the tradition accessible to those familiar with Western philosophy. It also serves scholars and students of Buddhist studies interested in the philosophical aspects of the tradition.
