Nishida Kitaro, Japan's premier modern philosopher, was born in 1870 and grew to intellectual maturity in the final decades of the Meiji period (1868-1912). He achieved recognition as Japan's leading establishment philosopher during his tenure as professor of philosophy at Kyoto University. After his retirement in 1927, and until his death in 1945, Nishida published a continuous stream of original essays that can best be described as intercivilizational, a meeting point of East and West.

Gender and feminist theories may be a major part of Western academic discourse, but their engagement in the Indian philosophical context has remained glaringly absent. The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Indian Philosophy and Gender presents a definitive overview of the field, exploring a variety of texts and traditions from Indian philosophy where the treatment of gender is dynamic and diverse.

By addressing questions such as 'How do gender constructions transform religious experiences?' 'What is the role of bodily materiality in ethics and epistemology?' 'How does rethinking...

One who communicates the Dharma of the awakened mind is like the skeleton that points in the direction of the moon. They are not the moon. Secular western Dharma encourages the removal of the 'ism' from Buddhism to create the potential for a fourth reformation period. It promotes a return to the simple and practical communication of a journey that points towards the awakening experience of clarity and the actualization process that follows, that is free from institutionalized religious dogma, blind belief and superstitions. This book sets out the principles and practices of that journey...

For close to a thousand years Amida's Pure Land, a paradise of perfect ease and equality, was the most powerful image of shared happiness circulating in the Japanese imagination. In the late nineteenth century, some Buddhist thinkers sought to reinterpret the Pure Land in ways that would allow it speak to modern Japan. Their efforts succeeded in ways they could not have predicted. During the war years, economist Kawakami Hajime, philosopher Miki Kiyoshi, and historian Ienaga Saburo--left-leaning thinkers with no special training in doctrinal studies and no strong connection to any Buddhist...
