Buch
Softcover. Zustand: Good. Six lectures by eminent Buddhist thinker Keiji Nishitani reflecting on Buddhism for the modern world.On Buddhism presents the first English-language translation of a series of lectures by Keiji Nishitani (1900-1990), a major Buddhist thinker and a key figure in the Kyoto School of Japanese philosophy. Originally delivered in the early 1970s, these lectures focus on the transformation of culture in the modern age and the subsequent decline in the importance of the family and religion. Nishitanis concern is that modernity, with its individualism, materialism, and contractual ethics, is an insufficient basis for human relationships. With deep insight into both Buddhism and Christianity, he explores such issues as the nature of genuine human existence, the major role of conscience in our advance to authenticity, and the needed transformation of religion. Nishitani criticizes contemporary Buddhism for being too esoteric and asks that it come down from Mt. Hiei to reestablish itself as a vital source of worthy ideals and to point toward a way of remaining human even in a modern and postmodern world.through it all, the creative, even playful, mind that made Nishitani one of the philosophers most beloved by modern Japanese Buddhist scholars shines bright and unclouded by the shift from one culture and language to another. - Eastern BuddhistThese lectures throw new light on Buddhism from the vantage point of a philosopher versed in both Japanese and Western thought. They develop some themes not usually discussed in Buddhism, while also presenting other themes and ideas that are discussed in Nishitanis books but which are much more accessible here. - John C. Maraldo, coeditor of Rude Awakenings: Zen, the Kyoto School, and the Question of NationalismNishitani is one of Buddhisms wisest modern exponents, and so its wonderful to have more of his work available in English, and especially an important yet accessible text like this one. - Graham Parkes, cotranslator of Keiji Nishitanis The Self-Overcoming of Nihilism.
