Glenn Wallis argues that in aligning their tradition with the contemporary self-help industry, Western Buddhists evade the consequences of Buddhist thought. This book shows that with concepts such as vanishing, nihility, extinction, contingency, and no-self, Buddhism, like all potent systems of thought, articulates a notion of the "real." Raw, unflinching acceptance of this real is held by Buddhism to be at the very core of human "awakening." Yet these preeminent human truths are universally shored up against in contemporary Buddhist practice, which contradicts the very heart of Buddhism. The author's critique of Western Buddhism is threefold. It is immanent, in emerging out of Buddhist thought but taking it beyond what it itself publicly concedes; negative, in employing the "democratizing" deconstructive methods of Franc?ois Laruelle's non-philosophy; and re-descriptive, in applying Laruelle's concept of philofiction. Through applying resources of Continental philosophy to Western Buddhism, A Critique of Western Buddhism suggests a possible practice for our time, an "anthropotechnic", or religion transposed from its seductive, but misguiding, idealist haven."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aBuddhism$xPhilosophy 606 $aBuddhism$zWestern countries 606 $aBuddhist philosophy 606 $aContinental philosophy 606 $2Buddhism 615 0$aBuddhism$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aBuddhism 615 0$aBuddhist philosophy. 615 0$aContinental philosophy. 676 $a294.3/42 700 $aWallis$b Glenn$01089329 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910629340903321 996 $aA critique of Western Buddhism$92966586 997 $aUNINA
