After Appropriation
After Appropriation Sented by Sarah Gerdes

While there have been a number of specialized books in the field of comparative philosophy, and many in the field of comparative religion, there are few scholars who can address both disciplines. Furthermore, when these disciplines are virtually mutually exclusive, as in Western academia, a full appreciation of non-Western approaches to either religion or philosophy is not easily attained, and distortions, such as appropriation, often occur.

Advancing the Human Self
Advancing the Human Self Sented by Carlos

Do technologies advance our self-identities, as they do our bodies, cognitive skills, and the next developmental stage called postpersonal?

A Theory of Regret
A Theory of Regret Sented by Luis

In A THEORY OF REGRET Brian Price takes up regret as a useful political emotion and, surprisingly, as a way to understand bureaucracy.

A Sense of Brutality
A Sense of Brutality Sented by Emma

Contemporary popular culture is riddled with references to Mexican drug cartels, narcos, and drug trafficking. In the United States, documentary filmmakers, journalists, academics, and politicians have taken note of the increasing threats to our security coming from a subculture that appears to feed on murder and brutality while being fed by a romanticism about power and capital.

A Pure Mind in a Clean Body
A Pure Mind in a Clean Body Sented by Sarah Gerdes

Buddhist monasteries, in both Ancient India and China, have played a crucial social role, for religious as well as for lay people. They rightfully attract the attention of many scholars, discussing historical backgrounds, institutional networks, or influential masters. Still, some aspects of monastic life have not yet received the attention they deserve.

A New Perspective on Education in the Digital Age

Drawing together action-based research with sociology of education, medium theory and the Bildung-tradition, the authors offer a new perspective on education in the digital age, exploring emancipation, edification, self-formation and democratic education.

A Sense of Brutality Sented by Emma

Contemporary popular culture is riddled with references to Mexican drug cartels, narcos, and drug trafficking.

A Rushed Quality
A Rushed Quality Sented by Jacob

These fragments collected here (in 2 books, “A Rushed Quality” and “Bodying Forth”) belong neither to philosophy nor to poetry — and yet they are for the most part focused on a substantial area of overlap between these two venerable disciplines, vis-à-vis the question, “What is it like to be X?” Philosophers like to fill in the X with something exotic like a bat or a dolphin, or even an Artificial Intelligence, while poets tend to fill it with something else, equally exotic, namely themselves.

A Critique of Western Buddhism

What are we to make of Western Buddhism? Glenn Wallis argues that in aligning their tradition with the contemporary wellness industry, Western Buddhists evade the consequences of Buddhist thought.

A Buddhist Approach to International Relations

This book is an open access book. Many scholars have wondered if a non-Western theory of international politics founded on different premises, be it from Asia or from the “Global South,” could release international relations from the grip of a Western, “Westphalian” model.

A Buddha Land in This World

In the early twentieth century, Uchiyama Gudō, Seno’o Girō, Lin Qiuwu, and others advocated a Buddhism that was radical in two respects.

Symbolic Neutrosophic Theory

Symbolic (or Literal) Neutrosophic Theory is referring to the use of abstract symbols (i.e. the letters T, I, F, representing the neutrosophic components truth, indeterminacy, and respectively falsehood, or their refined components, represented by the indexed letters Tj, Ik, Fl) in neutrosophics.

Modern Philosophy
Modern Philosophy Sented by Luis

This is a textbook (or better, a workbook) in modern philosophy. It combines readings from primary sources with two pedagogical tools. Paragraphs in italics introduce figures and texts. Numbered study questions (also in italics) ask students to reconstruct an argument or position from the text, or draw connections among the readings. The introductory chapter, Minilogic and Glossary, are designed to present the basic tools of philosophy and sketch some principles and positions.

Sodom and Gomorrah, Texas
Sodom and Gomorrah, Texas Sented by Luis

The place called Sodom was bad enough. But right down the road was the other town—and that was even worse! MANUEL shouldn't have been employed as a census taker. He wasn't qualified. He couldn't read a map. He didn't know what a map was. He only grinned when they told him that North was at the top.

A Bubble Burst
A Bubble Burst Sented by Carlos

How a Stock Exchange Scare Dislocated the Life of the Empire For Two Days, a story in the "Doom of London" series in which the author sounds the clarion call of potential disasters that my befall the great city. Here, it is the tale of an investment "bubble", an irrational exuberance for buying shares of South African gold mining stocks. Excerpts:
