  • How Nature Matters

    Culture, Identity, and Environmental Value

    de Simon P. James ...
    HOW NATURE MATTERS presents an original theory of nature's value based on part—whole relations. James argues that when natural things have cultural value, they do not always have it as means to valuable ends. In many cases, they have value as parts of valuable wholes — as parts of traditions, for instance, or cultural identities. James develops his theory by investigating twelve real-world cases, ...

    de David E. Cooper, Simon P. James ...
    Series series Ashgate World Philosophies Series

  • How Much is Enough?

    Buddhism, Consumerism, and the Human Environment

    Edición de Richard K. Payne ...
    The massive outpouring of consumer products available today might alone lead one to ask "How much is enough?" But at the same time, if we allow ourselves to see the social, political, economic and environmental consequences of the system that produces such a mass of "goods," then the question is not simply a matter of one's own personal choice, but points to the profound interconnectedness of our ...

  • Buddhist Philosophy

    Essential Readings

    Edición de William Edelglass, Jay Garfield ...

  • The Making of Buddhist Modernism

    de David L. McMahan ...
    A great deal of Buddhist literature and scholarly writing about Buddhism of the past 150 years reflects, and indeed constructs, a historically unique modern Buddhism, even while purporting to represent ancient tradition, timeless teaching, or the "essentials" of Buddhism. This literature, Asian as well as Western, weaves together the strands of different traditions to create a novel hybrid that ... Leer más

  • Indra's Net

    de Rajiv Malhotra ...
    Originating in the Atharva Veda, the concept of Indra's Net is a powerful metaphor for interconnectedness. It was transmitted via Buddhism's Avatamsaka Sutra into Western thought, where it now resides at the heart of post-modern discourse. According to this metaphor, nothing ultimately exists separately by itself and all boundaries can be deconstructed. This book invokes Indra's Net to articulate ... Leer más

  • Jainism

    An Introduction

    de Jeffery D. Long ...
    Series series I.B.Tauris Introductions to Religion
    Jainism evokes images of monks wearing face-masks to protect insects and mico-organisms from being inhaled. Or of Jains sweeping the ground in front of them to ensure that living creatures are not inadvertently crushed: a practice of non-violence so radical as to defy easy comprehension. Yet for all its apparent exoticism, Jainism is still little understood in the West. What is this mysterious ... Leer más
