Description
Evan Thompson challenges the notion that Buddhism is uniquely suited to our modern age in this thought-provoking essay. He argues that the goals of science and religion are fundamentally different, and that efforts to unify them are misguided.
Thompson explores both Western and Buddhist philosophy to explain how these two seemingly disparate traditions can coexist. He proposes a cosmopolitan worldview with roots in both Eastern and Western traditions as an alternative to the fusion of science and spirituality.
This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Buddhism's place in the world today, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between science and religion.
