Routledge Handbook on the Philosophy of Meditation is the most extensive and informative collection of articles on this topic in print. This Handbook is the first stop for anyone interested in the philosophical issues raised by meditation practice."

"Routledge Handbook on the Philosophy of Meditation is first of its kind. Rick Repetti, a leader in the field, has edited this excellent collection of original articles from experts with diverse perspectives, masterfully arranging them into themes including phenomenology, metaphysics, epistemology, values, and religion, relating each to the central hypothesis that there is a philosophy of meditation."

"This volume includes important new essays from prominent experts on Buddhist thought and from key contributors to the scholarly conversation about meditation. It contains careful, rigorous work from a variety of perspectives, drawing on relevant research in psychology as well as Asian textual traditions. The book will be valuable to philosophers, psychologists, and scholars of Asian religions. It will also be helpful to anyone looking for insights into what meditation is and what it can do for us, both as seekers of knowledge and as suffering humans."
