Beskrivning
Santideva’s 8th century Mahayana Buddhist classic, the Guide to the Practices of Awakening (Bodhicaryavatara), has been a source of philosophical inspiration in the Indian and Tibetan traditions for over a thousand years. Stephen Harris guides us through a philosophical exploration of Santideva’s masterpiece, introducing us to his understanding of the compassionate bodhisattva, who vows to liberate the entire universe from suffering. Individual chapters provide studies of the bodhisattva virtues of generosity, patience, compassion, and wisdom, illustrating the role each plays in Santideva’s account of well-being and moral development. Harris also provides in-depth analysis of many of Santideva’s most influential arguments, demonstrating how he employs reasoning as a method to cultivate moral character.As the first book-length English language philosophical study of Santideva’s most influential text, this will be essential reading for students and scholars of Buddhist ethics, as well as for anyone interested in intercultural ethics and the philosophy of well-being.

[Buddhist Ethics and the Bodhisattva Path] is precisely cut, with careful attention to canonical and secondary literature and clean articulation of arguments underpinned by meticulous philology. It is deeply colored by attention to the larger ethical and moral psychological issues Santideva raises. It is beautifully clear, written in an accessible prose style that makes Santideva’s project accessible to any reader, presupposing no background in Buddhist philosophy. And it is comprehensive, addressing Santideva’s system in its entirety. This volume will hence be of enormous value to ethicists who want to learn something about Buddhist ethics, to Buddhist Studies scholars who want to talk to their philosopher colleagues, and to teachers who want to address Buddhist philosophy ... Those coming to Buddhist ethics, or to Santideva’s texts for the first time—whether as students or as philosophers new to this area—will find it a lucid and reliable guide to the Guide.
