The common western understanding of Buddhism today envisions this major world religion as one of compassion and tolerance. But as the author Droit reveals this view bears little resemblance to one broadly held in the nineteenth century European philosophical imagination that saw Buddhism as a religion of annihilation calling for the destruction of the self. The Cult of Nothingness traces the history of the western discovery of Buddhism. In so doing the author shows that such major philosophers as Schopenhauer Nietzsche Hegel Cousin and Renan imagined Buddhism as a religion that was as Nietzsche put it a negation of the world. In fact says the author such portrayals were more a reflection of what was happening in Europe at the time when the collapse of traditional European hierarchies and values the specter of atheism and the rise of racism and social revolts were shaking European societies than an accurate description of Buddhist thought. The author also reflects on how this history continues to echo in contemporary western understanding of Buddhism. The book includes a comprehensive bibliography on books on Buddhism published in the west between 1638 and 1890. 264 pp. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 73964
