具體描述
Evan Thompson is professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia and a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of Waking, Dreaming, Being: Self and Consciousness in Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy, among other books.
Buddhism has become a uniquely favored religion in our modern age. A burgeoning number of books extol the scientifically proven benefits of meditation and mindfulness for everything ranging from business to romance. There are conferences, courses, and celebrities promoting the notion that Buddhism is spirituality for the rational; compatible with cutting-edge science; indeed, “a science of the mind.” In this provocative book, Evan Thompson argues that this representation of Buddhism is false.
In lucid and entertaining prose, Thompson dives deep into both Western and Buddhist philosophy to explain how the goals of science and religion are fundamentally different. Efforts to seek their unification are wrongheaded and promote mistaken ideas of both. He suggests cosmopolitanism instead, a worldview with deep roots in both Eastern and Western traditions. Smart, sympathetic, and intellectually ambitious, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Buddhism’s place in our world today.
用戶評價
##As a layman in both philosophy and buddhism, I find some chapters difficult. But I like how the author lays out his arguments in "Is buddhism true?" and "mindfulness mania". I myself have been considering some of the issues for some time, but could never think them through like the author does.
評分##有對流行的正念、冥想的撥亂反正

評分##有對流行的正念、冥想的撥亂反正
評分##對佛教現代主義的有力迴應，邏輯清晰，論據充分，最後以世界主義作結，感覺隻是個開端，畢竟我們對意識理解得太有限瞭。
