Description
Buddhist thought and critical theory have long been intertwined in their critiques of modern society. This collection of three essays explores this intersection, examining how both traditions respond to contemporary challenges such as ecological peril and psycho-social violence.
The authors delve into the connections between Buddhism's concept of sunyata (emptiness) and Marxist revolution, as well as its relationship to psychoanalytic notions of cure. They also investigate a phenomenon known as Buddhaphobia, or the fear of Buddhism in modern times.
Through their inquiries, the authors aim to understand how critical theory can benefit from Buddhist perspectives on nihilism and nothingness, ultimately shedding light on our dark ecological future.
