Description

This scholarly work presents one of the first systematic examinations of a non-western semiotic system, focusing on Japanese esoteric Buddhism through original texts and rigorous semiotic analysis. The book explores how semiotic concerns are deeply embedded in Buddhist intellectual and religious discourse, beginning with the foundational idea that the world differs from its appearance, requiring deeper understanding of self and reality. Through sustained discussions on language, representations, and methods of knowledge, the text demonstrates how Buddhist philosophy challenges conventional perception and meaning-making. Part of the Bloomsbury Advances in Semiotics series, this academic volume bridges eastern religious thought with western semiotic theory, offering scholars and students a comprehensive framework for understanding how signs, ontology, and salvation interrelate within Japanese esoteric Buddhist traditions.
