Description

Explore the complex relationship between Buddhist thought and the concept of free will with this academic work from Routledge. While the question of free will was rarely addressed explicitly in Buddhist history before the twentieth century, the Buddha's rejection of fatalism and discussions regarding karma provide a foundation for modern inquiry. This book bridges the gap between Eastern and Western thought by bringing Buddhist philosophy into the Western analytic philosophical debate. By integrating these two traditions, the text aims to make Buddhist ideas clearer and more accessible to those studying the Western philosophical discussion of agency. It offers a unique perspective on whether agency can exist without a permanent self, providing deep insights for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of Asian religion and philosophy. This volume is part of the Routledge Studies in Asian Religion and Philosophy series, making it a valuable addition to any academic library focused on comparative philosophy and religious studies.
