The history of the West, like all histories, has been plagued by the consequences of greed, ill-will, and delusion. A Buddhist History of the West investigates how individuals have tried to ground themselves to make themselves feel more real. To be self-conscious is to experience ungroundedness as a sense of lack, but what is lacking has been understood differently in different historical periods. Author David R. Loy examines how the understanding of lack changes at historical junctures and shows how those junctures were so crucial in the development of the West. 606 $aCivilization, Western$xPsychological aspects 606 $aCivilization, Western$xPhilosophy 606 $aCivilization, Western$xClassical influences 606 $aBuddhist philosophy 606 $aBuddhism$xDoctrines 606 $aSelf (Philosophy) 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) 606 $aSelf-consciousness (Awareness) 615 0$aCivilization, Western$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aCivilization, Western$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCivilization, Western$xClassical influences. 615 0$aBuddhist philosophy. 615 0$aBuddhism$xDoctrines. 615 0$aSelf (Philosophy) 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) 615 0$aSelf-consciousness (Awareness) 676 $a909/.09821 700 $aLoy$b David$f1947-$0687596 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968643003321 996 $aA Buddhist history of the West$94353102 997 $aUNINA
