{"product_id":"double-exposure-bernard-faure-9780804743488","title":"Double Exposure: Cutting Across Buddhist and Western Discourses","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the possible relations between Western types of rationality and Buddhism. It also examines some clich駸 about Buddhism and questions the old antinomies of Western culture (\"faith and reason,\" or \"idealism and materialism\"). The use of the Buddhist notion of the Two Truths as a hermeneutic device leads to a double or multiple exposure that will call into question our mental habits and force us to ask questions differently, to think \"in a new key.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDouble Exposure\u003c\/i\u003e is somewhat of an oddity. Written by a specialist for nonspecialists, it is not a book of vulgarization. Although it aims at a better integration of Western and Buddhist thought, it is not an exercise in comparative philosophy or religion. It is neither a contribution to Buddhist scholarship in the narrow sense, nor a contribution to some vague Western \"spirituality.\" Cutting across traditional disciplines and blurring established genres, it provides a leisurely but deeply insightful stroll through philosophical and literary texts, dreams, poetry, and paradoxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Faure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804743487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804743488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.06w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 676","brand":"Bernard Faure","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947216634111,"sku":"9780804743488","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0d408e61-1d77-46f1-a002-b210f66ff525.jpg?v=1681517416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/double-exposure-bernard-faure-9780804743488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
