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. |
