With its analytic foci on the theme of exile, this volume examines
Tibetan fiction, music, art, cinema, pamphlets, testimony, and
memoir. The twelve case studies highlight the themes of Tibetans'
self-representation, politicized national consciousness, religious
and cultural heritages, and resistance to the forces of
colonization. This book demonstrates how Tibetan cultural
narratives adjust to intercultural influences and ongoing social
and political struggles.
This book provides a philosophical account of the normative status
of killing in Buddhism. Its argument theorises on relevant Buddhist
philosophical grounds the metaphysical, phenomenological and
ethical dimensions of the distinct intentional classes of killing,
in dialogue with some elements of Western philosophical thought. In
doing so, it aims to provide a descriptive account of the causal
bases of intentional killing, a global justification and
elucidation of Buddhist norms regarding killing, and an
intellectual response to and critique of alternative conceptions of
such norms presented in recent Buddhist Studies scholarship. It
examines early and classical Buddhist accounts of the evaluation of
killing, systematising and rationally assessing these claims on
both Buddhist and contemporary Western philosophical grounds. The
book provides the conceptual foundation for the discussion,
engaging original reconstructive philosophical analyses to both
bolster and critique classical Indian Buddhist positions on killing
and its evaluation, as well as contemporary Buddhist Studies
scholarship concerning these positions. In doing so, it provides a
systematic and critical account of the subject hitherto absent in
the field. Engaging Buddhist philosophy from scholastic dogmatics
to epistemology and metaphysics, this book is relevant to advanced
students and scholars in philosophy and religious studies.
