ebooks Ancient Greek Cults: A Guide by Jennifer Larson in History

Description

Early Buddhist Metaphysics provides a philosophical account of the major doctrinal shift in the history of early Theravada tradition in India: the transition from the earliest stratum of Buddhist thought to the systematic and allegedly scholastic philosophy of the Pali Abhidhamma movement. Entwining comparative philosophy and Buddhology; the author probes the Abhidhamma's metaphysical transition in terms of the Aristotelian tradition and vis-à-vis modern philosophy; exploits Western philosophical literature from Plato to contemporary texts in the fields of philosophy of mind and cultural criticism.
