Recenzje

How Things Are is a tour de force of Buddhist metaphysics from an analytic philosopher so steeped in both traditions so as to be able to present Buddhist metaphysics' dialectical progressions and interrelationships in Western analytic terms at both the fine-grained level of analysis and the "big picture" level on the many ways these arguments stack up against each other and contemporary Western philosophical puzzles.

O autorze

Mark Siderits works primarily in analytic Asian philosophy. He retired from Seoul National University in 2012, but now lectures occasionally at Kyoto University. His research interests lie in the intersection between classical Indian philosophy on the one hand, and analytic metaphysics and philosophy of language on the other. Among his more recent publications are: Personal Identity and Buddhist Philosophy: Empty Persons, 2nd edition, and, together with Shoryu Katsura, Nagarjuna's Middle Way: Mulamadhyamakakarika. A collection of his papers on Buddhist philosophy, Studies in Buddhist Philosophy, was published by Oxford in 2016.
