Description

Explore a groundbreaking study of non-Western semiotics through the lens of Japanese esoteric Buddhism. This volume, part of the Bloomsbury Advances in Semiotics series, offers one of the first systematic presentations of a non-Western semiotic system. By examining original texts through rigorous semiotic categories, the book investigates how Buddhist intellectual and religious discourse addresses the nature of reality. It examines the idea that the world is not merely what it appears to be, leading to deep discussions on the self, the status of language, and the role of representations. This academic work provides a way to understand how semiotic concerns are embedded in religious thought. It is an essential resource for scholars interested in how methods of knowing reality and the self are shaped by linguistic and symbolic structures in the Buddhist tradition.
