Originally delivered in the early 1970s, these lectures focus on the transformation of culture in the modern age and the subsequent decline in the importance of the family and religion. Nishitani's concern is that modernity, with its individualism, materialism, and contractual ethics, is an insufficient basis for human relationships. With deep insight into both Buddhism and Christianity, he explores such issues as the nature of genuine human existence, the major role of conscience in our advance to authenticity, and the needed transformation of religion. Nishitani criticizes contemporary Buddhism for being too esoteric and asks that it "come down from Mt. Hiei" to reestablish itself as a vital source of worthy ideals and to point toward a way of remaining human even in a modern and postmodern world."--Jacket 606 $aBuddhism 606 $aReligion 615 0$aBuddhism. 615 0$aReligion. 676 $a294.3 700 $aNishitani$b Keiji$f1900-1990.$0268791 701 $aYamamoto$b Seisaku$f1929-$01799709 701 $aCarter$b Robert Edgar$f1937-$0187915 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971778903321 996 $aOn Buddhism$94344103 997 $aUNINA
