Is it or is it not a case of “anything goes”? S N... |

Pali Primer |

I am sorry I was not able to bring forth Pali Primer during his lifetime, but I feel I am discharging a great obligation even at this late stage.

Prolegomena to a History of Buddhist Philosophy |
$5.49 $4.12 |
|
| This study canvasses the idea of writing a general history of Buddhist philosophy. The Buddha was not only the founder of a great world religion but was a gifted critical and speculative philosopher. The value of Buddhism as a religion and the historical development of Buddhism as a popular religion should not preclude the serious study of Buddhism as philosophy and Buddhism's unique approach to metaphysics, logic, causality and the classic philosophical problems. |
