It demonstrates that phenomenological method has the power to reanimate ancient Buddhist texts, giving new life to the phenomena at which those texts point.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeginning with descriptions of how mindfulness is encountered in everyday, pre-philosophical life, the book moves on to an analysis of how the Pali Nikāyas of Theravada Buddhism define mindfulness and the practice of cultivating it. It then offers a critique of the contemporary attempts to explain mindfulness as a kind of attention. The author argues that mindfulness is not attention, nor can it be understood as a mere modification of the attentive process. Rather, becoming mindful involves a radical shift in perspective. According to the author's account, being mindful is the feeling of being tuned-in to the open horizon, which is contrasted with Edmund Husserl's transcendental horizon. The book also elucidates the difference between the practice of cultivating mindfulness with the practice of the phenomenological \u003ci\u003eepoché\u003c\/i\u003e, which reveals new possibilities for the practice of phenomenology itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhenomenological Reflections on Mindfulness in the Buddhist Tradition\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in phenomenology, Buddhist philosophy, and comparative philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erol Čopelj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032107189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032107189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Erol \u0026#268;opelj","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070905086207,"sku":"9781032107189","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30b008d8-dc4c-49b6-81aa-09d43f6225b5.jpg?v=1685433014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/phenomenological-reflections-on-mindfulness-in-erol-opelj-9781032107189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
