{"product_id":"nirvana-and-other-buddhist-felicities-steven-collins-9780521578424","title":"Nirvana and Other Buddhist Felicities","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521578426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521578424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.56d","brand":"Steven Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056281514239,"sku":"9780521578424","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f2f6543-1f9b-40fe-bd7d-e34aa942bc1d.jpg?v=1685040480","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nirvana-and-other-buddhist-felicities-steven-collins-9780521578424","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
