Kurma Purana Pt. 2 (AITM Vol. 21): Ancient Indian Tradition And Mythology

Description

Here is a study of rationality and mind based on the earliest recorded stratum of Buddhism, the Pali Nikayas. The author makes a distinction between what can be said from within the context of the Buddhist texts themselves and what can be spoken of from the point of view of contemporary philosophy of religion. The author is at once sympathetic to Early Buddhism as a system of religious belief and attentive to its philosophical difficulties. The volume is primarily addressed to students of Buddhism. Scholars and researchers in the field of philosophical and religious studies will also find it interesting.
