PDF-[READ]-The Authority of Experience: Readings on Buddhism and Psychology (Curzon Studies

This collection of writings presents contemporary views on the integration of Buddhism in the West Over the past few decades Buddhism has deepened its presence in the West and as a result teachings and practices are becoming integrated with those of Western psychology in a more productive way The decline of mechanism and positivism offers new opportunities to bring together Western Buddhist views of the mind and its relationship to its surroundingsWritten by psychologists and scholars the essays discuss many of the difficult questions raised by Buddhisms increased presence In particular the issue of the balance between authenticity and accessibility is examined Buddhist traditions are often perceived as inaccessible and too firmly fixed to a cultural framework with some people especially women left feeling alienated and undervalued However by responding to this by attempting to synthesise Buddhism with the values of contemporary culture can lead to doubts about authenticity and dilution Examining these issues and many more the contributors seek to bring Buddhism into a realistic and informed relationship with contemporary Western thought.

New interpretations of the central teachings of early Buddhism, mainly the relationship between identity and perception in early Buddhism. Gombrich takes a fresh look at the earliest Buddhist texts and offers various suggestions about how the teachings in them had developed. Throughout the history of Buddhism, little has been said prior to the Twentieth Century that explicitly raises the question whether we have free will, though the Buddha rejected fatalism and some Buddhists have addressed whether karma is fatalistic. Recently, however, Buddhist and Western philosophers have begun to explicitly discuss Buddhism and free will.This book incorporates Buddhist philosophy more explicitly into the Western analytic philosophical discussion of free will, both in order to render more perspicuous Buddhist ideas that might shed light on the Western philosophical debate, and in order to render more perspicuous the many possible positions on the free will debate that are available to Buddhist philosophy. The book covers:Buddhist and Western perspectives on the problem of free will The puzzle of whether free will is possible if, as Buddhists believe, there is no agent/self Therav?da views Mah?y?na views Evidential considerations from science, meditation, and skepticism The first book to bring together classical and contemporary perspectives on free will in Buddhist thought, it is of interest to academics working on Buddhist and Western ethics, comparative philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, agency, and personal identity.
