Description

The Buddha Meets Socrates: A Philosopher's Journal is a unique account of teaching and learning between two great thinkers. In 2004, Harrison J. Pemberton embarked on an extraordinary journey to share Western philosophy with young Buddhist monks in India.

One scholar who was particularly drawn to this exchange was His Holiness the 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje. Together, they engaged in a dialogue of teaching and learning, exploring how Western philosophers' ideas might intersect with Buddhist philosophy.

This book chronicles the process of inquiry and exchange that took place during these meetings, offering a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of Eastern and Western philosophical traditions.
