This selection of essays demonstrates that, in the study of
Buddhism, a concern with detailed accuracy in philological and
textual specifics can be combined with wider philosophical and
sociological issues. The essays are divided into three parts: (1)
Pali Literature, (2) The Theory and Practice of Not-Self, and (3)
Buddhism and Society. The last part builds on but goes beyond the
work of Dumont and Max Weber in considering UIworld-renunciation U?
as a phenomenon of society and culture.
Steven Collins is Chester D. Tripp Professor in the Humanities
at the University of Chicago and a council member of the Pali Text
Society."
