The most groundbreaking meeting of Eastern philosophy and Western
culture to date. In this father-son dialgue, Revel and Ricard
explore the most fundamental questions of human existence and the
ways in which they are embraced by Eastern and Western thought. In
this meeting of the minds, they touch upon philosophy,
spirituality, science, politics, psychology and ethics. They raise
the enduring questions: does life have meaning? Why is there
suffering, war and hatred? Revel's perspective as an
internationally renowned philosopher and Ricard's as a
distinguished molecular-geneticist-turned-Buddhist-monk results in
a brilliant, accessible and accessible conversation-the most
eloquent meeting yet of Eastern & Western thought.

Leading thinkers from a range of disciplines discuss the
compatibility of power and care, in conversation with the Dalai
Lama. For more than thirty years, the Dalai Lama has been in
dialogue with thinkers from a range of disciplines, helping to
support pathways for knowledge to increase human wellbeing and
compassion. These conversations, which began as private meetings,
are now part of the Mind & Life Institute and Mind & Life
Europe. This book documents a recent Mind & Life Institute
dialogue with the Dalai Lama and others on two fundamental forces:
power and care-power over and care for others in human societies.
The notion of power is essentially neutral; power can be used to
benefit others or to harm them, to build or to destroy. Care, on
the other hand, is not a neutral force; it aims at increasing the
wellbeing of others. Power and care are not incompatible: power,
imbued with care, can achieve more than a powerless motivation to
care; power, without the intention to benefit others, can be
ruthless. The contributors-who include such celebrated figures as
Frans B. M. de Waal, Olafur Eliasson, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, and Jody
Williams-discuss topics including the interaction of power and care
among our closest relatives, the chimpanzees; the effect of
meditation and mental training practices on the brain; the role of
religion in promoting peace and compassion; and the new field of
Caring Economics. Contributors Paul Collier, Brother Thierry-Marie
