What is Buddhism? According to Hakamaya Noriaki and Matsumoto
Shiro, the answer lies in neither Ch'an nor Zen; in neither the
Kyoto school of philosophy nor the non-duality taught in the
Vimalakirti Sutra. Hakamaya contends that "criticism alone is
Buddhism." This volume introduces and analyzes the ideas of
"critical Buddhism" in relation to the targets of its critique and
situates those ideas in the context of current discussions of
postmodern academic scholarship, the separation of the
disinterested scholar and committed religious practitioner, and the
place of social activism within the academy. Essays critical of the
received traditions of Buddhist thought-many never before
translated-are presented and then countered by the work of
respected scholars, both Japanese and Western, who take contrary
positions.
