Understanding Buddhism - Nolan P. Jacobson - Hardcover

Jacobson presents Buddhism unen­cumbered by Western categories and concepts, free from the cognitive bias, from the concept-oriented, definition-minded preoccupations inherited from the ancient Greeks. It is an interpreta­tion of the central ideas that have charac­terized all forms of Buddhism for 25centuries. Kenneth K. Inada notes that "Jacobson has explored a field with authority and force. . . . He is at the 'cutting edge' where others must now listen and follow." According to Herbert Guenther, "This book is undoubtedly a major contribu­tion to the field of sociophilosophical and sociocultural studies and to an under­standing of the impact Buddhist thinking has on the contemporary Western mind."Jacobson, Nolan P. is the author of 'Understanding Buddhism - Nolan P. Jacobson - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780809312245 and ISBN 0809312247.
