Description

Explore the complex relationship between Buddhist thought and the concept of human agency. Traditionally, Buddhist philosophy has appeared to reject the idea of an autonomous self, creating a tension with Western philosophical research into free will and the philosophy of action. This book provides a deep analytical review of current scholarship regarding these perspectives. By studying and refuting the strongest Western and Buddhist objections to free will, the text explores how a form of agency might actually exist within Buddhist frameworks. It offers a detailed explanation of how Buddhist meditation practices work to increase self-regulative mind-control abilities. This work is an essential resource for those interested in how mental freedom and agency function within spiritual and philosophical traditions.
