Buddhism as philosophy / Mark Siderits.
Edition: Second editionDescription: pages cmISBN: 9781624669811; 9781624669828Summary: "Buddhism As Philosophy was written to fill a particular pedagogical niche: to serve as a textbook that could be used in undergraduate philosophy courses focusing, in whole or in part, on the Buddhist philosophical tradition. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in scholarship focused on Indian Buddhist philosophy. This book was written to be suitable for use in undergraduate offerings in a philosophy department, and comparisons with similar or related concepts and theories in the Western tradition should make sense in that context, for two reasons. First, some students in such courses will already be familiar with parts of the Western tradition, and making connections with things one has already learned is a useful teaching strategy. Second, in the case of students not already familiar with the Western side of the comparison, philosophy instructors may want to encourage their students to engage in further exploration beyond the course content"--| Item type | Current library | Class number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item reservations |
