Nirvana: Concept, Imagery, Narrative
ISBN: 9780521881982 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The idea of nirvana (Pali nibb na) is alluring but elusive for non-specialists and specialists alike. Offering his own interpretation of key texts, Steven Collins explains the idea in a new, accessible way - as a concept, as an image (metaphor), and as an element in the process of narrating both linear and cyclical time. Exploring nirvana from literary and philosophical perspectives, he argues that it has a specific role: to provide 'the sense of an ending' in both the systematic and the narrative thought of the Pali imaginaire. Translations from a number of texts, including some dealing with...

A Pali Grammar for Students
ISBN: 9789749511138 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is intended for modern students, inside or outside the classroom, as a work of reference rather than a "teach yourself" textbook. It presents an introductory sketch of Pali using both European and South Asian grammatical categories. In English-language works, Pali is usually presented in the traditional terms of English grammar, derived from the classical tradition, with which many modern students are unfamiliar. This work discusses and reflects upon those categories, and has an appendix devoted to them. It also introduces the main categories of traditional Sanskrit and Pali...

ISBN: 9780521570541 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 712 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents a new answer to the question: what is nirvana? Part One distinguishes between systematic and narrative thought in the Pali texts of Theravada Buddhism, looking at the place of nirvana in both. Part Two explores other Buddhist utopias and relates Buddhist utopianism to studies of European and American utopian writing. Steven Collins discusses these issues in relation to textuality, world history, and ideology in premodern civilizations, aiming to contribute to a new vision of Buddhist history that integrates the inside and the outside of texts.

Self & Society: Essays on Pali Literature and Social Theory, 1988-2010
ISBN: 9786162150678 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This selection of essays demonstrates that, in the study of Buddhism, a concern with detailed accuracy in philological and textual specifics can be combined with wider philosophical and sociological issues. The essays are divided into three parts: (1) Pali Literature, (2) The Theory and Practice of Not-Self, and (3) Buddhism and Society. The last part builds on but goes beyond the work of Dumont and Max Weber in considering ?world-renunciation? as a phenomenon of society and culture. This selection of essays demonstrates that, in the study of Buddhism, a concern with detailed accuracy in philological and textual specifics can be... |

Selfless Persons: Imagery and Thought in Theravada Buddhism
ISBN: 9780521397261 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explains the Buddhist doctrine of annatta ("not-self"), which denies the existence of any self, soul, or enduring essence in man. The author relates this doctrine to its cultural and historical context, particularly to its Brahman background. He shows how the Theravada Buddhist tradition has constructed a philosophical and psychological account of personal identity on the apparently impossible basis of the denial of self. Although the emphasis of the book is firmly philosophical, Dr. Collins makes use of a number of academic disciplines, particularly those of anthropology,...
