{"product_id":"nothing-marcus-boon-9780226233260","title":"Nothing: Three Inquiries in Buddhism","description":"Though contemporary European philosophy and critical theory have long had a robust engagement with Christianity, there has been no similar engagement with Buddhism--a surprising lack, given Buddhism's global reach and obvious affinities with much of Continental philosophy. This volume fills that gap, focusing on \"nothing\"--essential to Buddhism, of course, but also a key concept in critical theory from Hegel and Marx through deconstruction, queer theory, and contemporary speculative philosophy. Through an elaboration of emptiness in both critical and Buddhist traditions; an examination of the problem of praxis in Buddhism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis; and an explication of a \"Buddhaphobia\" that is rooted in modern anxieties about nothingness, \u003ci\u003eNothing \u003c\/i\u003eopens up new spaces in which the radical cores of Buddhism and critical theory are renewed and revealed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Boon, Eric Cazdyn, Timothy Morton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022623326X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226233260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016","brand":"Marcus Boon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988096909567,"sku":"9780226233260","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ccb93b6-7ab4-40a0-a5af-ad1f024a3824.jpg?v=1683292601","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nothing-marcus-boon-9780226233260","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
