Synopsis

Buddhism Spread explores the remarkable journey of Buddhism from its origins in India to its profound influence across Asia. The book highlights Buddhism's transformative impact on art, politics, and daily life, examining how it reshaped cultural and political landscapes. A key insight is that Buddhism's success stemmed from its adaptability, integrating seamlessly with existing traditions rather than simply being imposed.

 
The book traces Buddhism's expansion in three parts. It first grounds the reader in Buddhism's Indian origins, exploring the life of Siddhartha Gautama and core teachings like the Four Noble Truths. Next, it follows the routes of Buddhist expansion through China (via the Silk Road), Japan, and Southeast Asia, showing how it adapted in each region. For example, in Japan, Buddhism intertwined with Shinto and influenced samurai culture.

 
Finally, it analyzes Buddhism's lasting effects on Asian art, political systems, and ethics. Unlike many books that focus solely on religion, this work adopts a holistic approach, connecting Buddhism's spread to cultural, political, and social developments. Drawing from primary texts, archaeological findings, and interdisciplinary scholarship, this book provides readers with a clear framework for understanding the historical roots of contemporary issues in Asia.

Discriminations - Achieving...

A. C. Grayling

World-renowned philosopher A. C. Grayling explores the messy politics of the 'culture wars' 
 
 
 
It seems like we can't talk about anything nowadays . .  . Whether it's war or something utterly inconsequential, the internet is primed for furor. And the results can be horrifying—from online pile ons and doxing to job loss and, in some cases, death. But how did we end up here? 
 
 
 
Nuanced and historically grounded, A. C. Grayling searches for middle ground in an otherwise incendiary debate. Looking at the history of cancellation, from Ancient Greek 'ostracism' through hemlock cups, witch trials, and the House of Un-American Activities, Discriminations is a timely examination of the state of our public culture and the chilling effect it's having on intellectual discourse.
