具体描述
Buddhism has become a uniquely favored religion in our modern age. A burgeoning number of books extol the scientifically proven benefits of meditation and mindfulness for everything ranging from business to romance. There are conferences, courses, and celebrities promoting the notion that Buddhism is spirituality for the rational; compatible with cutting-edge science; indeed, “a science of the mind.” In this provocative book, Evan Thompson argues that this representation of Buddhism is false.
In lucid and entertaining prose, Thompson dives deep into both Western and Buddhist philosophy to explain how the goals of science and religion are fundamentally different. Efforts to seek their unification are wrongheaded and promote mistaken ideas of both. He suggests cosmopolitanism instead, a worldview with deep roots in both Eastern and Western traditions. Smart, sympathetic, and intellectually ambitious, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Buddhism’s place in our world today.

##看到前两章，居然感到很兴奋~
评分##对佛教现代主义的有力回应，逻辑清晰，论据充分，最后以世界主义作结，感觉只是个开端，毕竟我们对意识理解得太有限了。
评分##WRONG STORY COSMOPOLITANISM BUDDHIST EXCEPTIONALISM 看出问题了没?这人认为所有文化全都平等，因为佛教似乎在嘲笑他的愚痴，然后他不服，不能有任何文化超过他的“科学”，所有文化全都不能例外地作为他拿去让这个现代文化更加丰富。但凡有点品味的人跟有禅定体验的人都不会觉得这书有什么价值的。Evan Thompson，一只十足的idiot。
评分##As a layman in both philosophy and buddhism, I find some chapters difficult. But I like how the author lays out his arguments in "Is buddhism true?" and "mindfulness mania". I myself have been considering some of the issues for some time, but could never think them through like the author does.
