Description

Beyond Enlightenment: Buddhism, Religion, Modernity offers a sophisticated study of the underlying assumptions found in Buddhist studies. Part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism series, this book examines how the use of the word "enlightened" instead of "awakened" has shaped the general perception of Buddhism as the religion of enlightenment. This text investigates the tendencies of scholars to ground their research in specific assumptions regarding the Buddha's enlightenment and particular understandings of religion. By tracing these concepts back through history, the book provides a deep look at how Western academic perspectives have influenced the study of Buddhist traditions. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the academic and philosophical frameworks that define modern Buddhist scholarship.
