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 1032112492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032112497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Erol \u0026#268;opelj","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065327661311,"sku":"9781032112497","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a38a0fdd-bb2b-4675-adfd-9af5c8b0e7a0.jpg?v=1768674465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/phenomenological-reflections-on-mindfulness-in-erol-opelj-9781032112497","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
