Introduction to Buddhism
6.99 €
Buddhism. One of the oldest and most philosophical of the great world religions, which literally turned the worldview of Western and Russian intellectuals upside down in the 20th century and has become firmly entrenched in our modern cultural codes. This book is dedicated to the origin, formation and development of this religion, based on a course of lectures given by E.A. Torchinov in 1994-1999 at the Philosophy Department of St. Petersburg State University.

What is this religion of self-absorption and denial of passions, created, according to legend, in the 6th century BC by a sad prince from the ancient Indian Shakya clan, who dreamed of freeing humanity from suffering? What was its basis, what schools and trends did it later split into, in its triumphant march through the Far East? And what, finally, was its influence on the culture of the West and Russia?..
