Description
No abstract given. Here are the first relevant paragraphs:
This searching and instructive book enlarges the current intensive debate on Buddhist ethics by clarifying the ontological foundations of ethical thinking and behavior in Mahāyāna Buddhism and in particular the Madhyamaka tradition. Conversely, it expounds the ontology of emptiness and the twofold truth with an eye to its ethical function. In addition, it reveals close affinities between Śāntideva's ontology and ethics and those of his contemporary Śaṅkara. Mahāyāna and Vedānta share a set of concerns and strategies, despite Buddhist denial of a permanent self and of Vedic authority and ritual. There is a "cross-cutting" (89) between the two traditions that makes a synoptic study illuminating. The claims that "all is brahman" and "all is empty" espoused respectively by the two authors are so radical that "they each threaten their own traditions" (47) and make necessary a defense of the conventional practical world as the arena of ascetic striving and of compassionate action. Both Indian thinkers faced the riddle of how ethics can make sense when the "individuated self" is "ultimately denied" (3). Read more here
