The fact is, however, that over a dozen apologetic essays have been written by Buddhists in China, Korea, and Japan in response to the Neo-Confucians. Buddhist Apologetics in East Asia offers an introduction to this Buddhist literary genre. It centers on full translations of two dominant apologetic works—the Hufa lun (護法論), written by a Buddhist politician in twelfth-century China, and the Yusŏk chirŭi non (儒釋質疑論), authored by an anonymous monk in fifteenth-century Korea. Put together, these two texts demonstrate the wide variety of polemical strategies and the cross-national intertextuality of East Asian Buddhist apologetics.Numen Book Series;volume163.BuddhismApologetic worksBuddhismRelationsNeo-confucianismNeo-ConfucianismRelationsBuddhismBuddhismBuddhismRelationsNeo-confucianism.Neo-ConfucianismRelationsBuddhism.294.342Kaplan Uri1853978NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910956843603321Buddhist apologetics in East Asia4450941UNINA
