FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In a letter from May 10, 1852, Adam von Doß, Arthur Schopenhauer declared himself to a Buddhist. From 1825 until his death, he never stopped searching for more information on Buddhism, with his thirst for knowledge of it growing over time. Schopenhauers Buddhism: A Historical-Philosophical Inquiry is the first study to do justice to Schopenhauers passion for Buddhism, reconstructing the notions of Buddhism he acquired through his readings on Buddhism as well as their influence on his thought. Laura Langone examines what Buddhism meant for Schopenhauer, what kind of Buddhism Schopenhauer had in mind, and how Buddhism shaped his philosophy. This book examines how the assimilation of Buddhist tenets through his Buddhist sources led him to incorporate the Buddhist concept of palingenesis into his philosophical system, which introduced a radically new metaphysical framework. Ultimately, Schopenhauers incorporation of Buddhist palingenesis illustrates how Buddhism deeply spurred him to develop new and innovative ideas previously unthinkable in Western philosophy. Author Biography Laura Langone is Marie Skodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow in ethics and applied ethics at the University of Verona. Table of Contents IntroductionChapter 1: Schopenhauers Philosophy and Readings on Buddhism until 1818: The Early YearsChapter 2: From 1818 until 1844: Religion, Genius, and NirvanaChapter 3: From 1850 Onwards: Asceticism, Negation, and the Ultimate RealityChapter 4: The Legacy of Schopenhauers Buddhism: Wagner and NietzscheConclusionAppendix: Further ReadingBibliographyAbout Author Review Responsibly grounding Schopenhauers engagement with Buddhist thought requires a rarely intertwined mastery of the histories of Late Modern Western and classical Eastern philosophies. What Laura Langone has achieved in Schopenhauers Buddhism is an erudite reconstruction of what Schopenhauer knew and, indeed, could have known about Buddhism – and from that foundation she successfully shows just how deeply his multifaceted engagement with Buddhism impacted the development of his thought. -- Anthony Jensen Details ISBN1666969508 Author Laura Langone Format Hardcover Publisher Lexington Books Series Contemporary Studies in Idealism Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781666969504 Imprint Lexington Books/Fortress Academic Subtitle A Historical-Philosophical Inquiry Country of Publication United States Alternative 9781666969511 Audience Professional & Vocational ISBN-10 1666969508 Pages 226 DEWEY 193 AU Release Date 2024-07-16 Publication Date 2024-07-17 US Release Date 2024-07-17 UK Release Date 2024-07-17 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
