Description

This scholarly work explores the intersection of Buddhist philosophy and Western analytic thought on the question of free will and human agency. Throughout Buddhist history, the concept of free will remained largely unexamined until the twentieth century, though the Buddha himself rejected fatalism and Buddhist thinkers have long debated whether karma operates as a deterministic force. This book bridges Eastern and Western philosophical traditions by integrating Buddhist perspectives into contemporary discussions of free will, offering insights that illuminate both traditions. By examining how Buddhist ideas about agency, causation, and karma relate to Western philosophical problems of determinism and moral responsibility, the author renders Buddhist concepts more accessible to analytic philosophers whilst strengthening dialogue between Eastern wisdom traditions and modern Western philosophy. Essential reading for anyone interested in comparative philosophy, Buddhist thought, or the nature of human freedom and choice.

Key Features

Addresses the historical development of free will discussions within Buddhist philosophy from ancient times through the twentieth century.

Integrates Buddhist philosophical frameworks into contemporary Western analytic discussions of agency, determinism, and moral responsibility.

Examines the relationship between karma doctrine and free will, clarifying whether Buddhist teachings support fatalism or genuine human agency.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Asian Religion and Philosophy series, positioning it within rigorous academic scholarship on Eastern thought.

Offers comparative analysis that bridges Buddhist and Western philosophical traditions for scholars and students of philosophy and religious studies.
