The Moon Points Back comprises essays by both established scholars
in Buddhist and Western philosophy and young scholars contributing
to cross-cultural philosophy. It continues the program of Pointing
at the Moon (Oxford University Press, 2009), integrating the
approaches and insights of contemporary logic and analytic
philosophy and those of Buddhist Studies to engage with Buddhist
ideas in a contemporary voice. This volume demonstrates
convincingly that integration of Buddhist philosophy with
contemporary analytic philosophy and logic allows for novel
understandings of and insights into Buddhist philosophical thought.
It also shows how Buddhist philosophers can contribute to debates
in contemporary Western philosophy and how contemporary
philosophers and logicians can engage with Buddhist material. The
essays in the volume focus on the Buddhist notion of emptiness
(sunyata), exploring its relationship to core philosophical issues
concerning the self, the nature of reality, logic, and
epistemology. The volume closes with reflections on methodological
issues raised by bringing together traditional Buddhist philosophy
and contemporary analytic philosophy. This volume will be of
interest to anyone interested in Buddhist philosophy or
contemporary analytic philosophy and logic. But it will also be of
interest to those who wish to learn how to bring together the
insights and techniques of different philosophical traditions.
