Description: Buddhist Philosophy in Theory and Practice by Guenther, Herbert 1972. Buddhist Philosophy in Theory and Practice How should we perceive the world? Where are we going? This unique book views the development of Buddhist philosophy as a ceaseless quest for answers to these eternal questions. Beginning: with the humble but essential areas of perception and knowledge and ending with the great tradition's of tantra and yoga, the growth of Buddhist thought is shown to be the outcome of a continuous critique of earlier premises. Each chapter introduces a specific Buddhist school - the problems it dealt with and the relevance of its answers to the great philosophical questions. And a special feature of Professor Gunther's approach is his use of quotations from two important yet neglected Tibetan texts. These works, unsurpassed for conciseness and clarity, present the theoretical as opposed to the practical side of Buddhism. Their inclusion here completes the reader's picture of the Buddhist transition from primitive epistomology to the later, magnificently developed metaphysics. Cover design by Jeannette Cissman
