In this volume, Seth Zuihō Segall compares Theravāda and Mahāyāna accounts of enlightenment with Aristotelian and neo-Aristotelian accounts of eudaimonia, and proposes a syncretic model of eudaimonic enlightenment that, given prevalent Western beliefs about well-being and human flourishing, provides a credible new end-goal for modern Western Buddhist practice. He then demonstrates how this proposed synthesis is already deeply reflected in contemporary Western Buddhist rhetoric. Segall re-evaluates traditional Buddhist teachings on desire, attachment, aversion, nirvāṇa, and selfhood from the eudaimonic enlightenment perspective, and explores the perspective's ethical and metaphysical implications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth Zuihō Segall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030370267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030370268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"Seth Zuih\u0026#333; Segall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126346248447,"sku":"9783030370268","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80bb5c15-3aa2-4857-86c7-042e49336a31.jpg?v=1687447654","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buddhism-and-human-flourishing-seth-zuih-segall-9783030370268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
