The essays in this book turn to the major figures and texts of the Buddhist tradition in order to expand and enrich our thinking on enduring philosophical questions. Featuring striking and generative comparisons, Philosophy's Big Questions offers readers new conceptual tools, methods, and insights for the pursuit of a good and happy life.
Philosophy's Big Questions makes the case that by exploring multiple traditions we can understand our questions and views differently, opening up new possibilities of thought and imagination, and new ways of understanding the practice of philosophy itself. The contributors to this volume include some of the most significant scholars in Buddhist philosophy writing today. The chapters are excellent, and their approach will be relevant and accessible to students.
