Though contemporary European philosophy and critical theory have
long had a robust engagement with Christianity, there has been no
similar engagement with Buddhism-a surprising lack, given
Buddhism's global reach and obvious affinities with much of
Continental philosophy. This volume fills that gap, bringing
together three scholars to offer individual, distinct, yet
complementary philosophical takes on Buddhism. Focused on
"nothing"-essential to Buddhism, of course, but also a key concept
in critical theory from Hegel and Marx through deconstruction,
queer theory, and contemporary speculative philosophy-the book
explores different ways of rethinking Buddhism's nothing. Through
an elaboration of "sunyata," or emptiness, in both critical and
Buddhist traditions; an examination of the problem of praxis in
Buddhism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis; and an explication of a
"Buddaphobia" that is rooted in modern anxieties about nothingness,
Marcus Boon, Eric Cazdyn, and Timothy Morton open up new spaces in
which the radical cores of Buddhism and critical theory are renewed
and revealed.
