Nietzsche and Other Buddhas: Philosophy after Comparative Philosophy by Jason M.

Description: Nietzsche and Other Buddhas by Jason M. Wirth Jason M. Wirth explores the limits and prospects of comparative philosophy as he engages Continental thinkers with East Asian Buddhist practitioners. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Nietzche and Other Buddhas, author Jason M. Wirth brings major East Asian Buddhist thinkers into radical dialogue with key Continental philosophers through a series of exercises that pursue what is traditionally called comparative or intercultural philosophy as he reflects on what makes such exercises possible and intelligible. The primary questions he asks are: How does this particular engagement and confrontation challenge and radicalize what is sometimes called comparative or intercultural philosophy? How does this task reconsider what is meant by philosophy? The confrontations that Wirth sets up between Dogen, Hakuin, Linji, Shinran, Nietzsche, and Deleuze ask readers to think more philosophically and globally about the nature of philosophy in general and comparative philosophy in particular. He opens up a new and challenging space of thought in and between the cutting edges of Western Continental philosophy and East Asian Buddhist practice. Author Biography Jason M.

In that respect, then, Nietzsche and Other Buddhas is an important book for an age marked by intolerance and disregard for the "other". . . and where the love of thought, spirit, and body that is indeed philosophy has an important role to play. * Los Angeles Review of Books *The book is rich in subtle details and inquiries. Slim though it is, this is not a book that will be read quickly and then put down as having been read. It is a demanding and yet inviting text. . . . Highly recommended. * Choice *Jason Wirths Nietzsche and Other Buddhas: Philosophy after Comparative Philosophy is a tour de force that both challenges and expands our understanding of the very practice of philosophy in general, and comparative philosophy in particular. -- Joseph Markowski * Reading Religion * Review Quote "The book is rich in subtle details and inquiries. Slim though it is, this is not a book that will be read quickly and then put down as having been read. It is a demanding and yet inviting text.... Highly recommended." Description for Sales People 1.
