The Vaidalyaprakarana provides a rare glimpse of the sophisticated philosophical exchange between Buddhist and non-Buddhist schools at an early stage and will be of interest to scholars of Buddhist thought, classical Indian Philosophy, and the history of Asian thought.Belonging to a set of Nagarjuna’s philosophical works known as the yukti-corpus, the Vaidalyaprakarana is noteworthy for its close engagement with the Hindu philosophers. It refutes the sixteen categories of the Nyaya school, which formed the logical and epistemological framework for many of the debates between Buddhist and Hindu philosophers.The Sanskrit original of the Vaidalyaprakarana long lost, the author translates the text from Tibetan, giving it an extensive analytical commentary. The aim is twofold: to investigate the interaction of the founder of the Madhyamika school with this influential school of Hindu thought; and to make sense of how Nagarjuna’s arguments that refute the Naiyayika categories are essential to the Madhyamika path in general.

Qui désire comprendre la source indienne de l'Ecole chinoise du Dhyana (Ch'an), du Zen japonais ou de la dialectique du bouddhisme tibétain doit remonter au texte fondateur : l'original sanskrit des Stances du milieu par excellence, du moine indien Nagarjuna (IIe-IIIe siècle de notre ère), dont l'influence fut immense en Asie. Ce texte fondamental est un dialogue critique avec les tenants de la scolastique du bouddhisme ancien qui avaient tendance à " prendre des mots pour des choses ", alors que l'enseignement du Bouddha était avant tout pratique et thérapeutique. Nagarjuna passe en revue des topiques familiers à la communauté bouddhique, mais aussi d'autres qui relèvent du sens commun, et les soumet à un examen critique implacable. Il nous invite ainsi à une remise en question, paradoxale et purgative, de certains de nos schèmes mentaux et vitaux tels que cause-effet, commencement-fin, identité-altérité, apparitiondisparition, mais aussi le mouvement, les choses, les êtres et leur (im) permanence, les passions, le moi, la souffrance, l'acte et ses fruits, les méprises, les nobles vérités, ce qu'il peut y avoir derrière des mots comme vacuité, nirvana, etc. La dialectique évacuatrice de Nagarjuna - qui a pour ressort une logique originale avec trois opérateurs (formels ou sémantiques) et un mode de raisonnement typiquement bouddhique (le tétralemme) - s'abolit dans sa phase ultime et ouvre la voie à une méditation sans intention ni parole.

Shin Buddhism (Jōdo Shinshū), although weakened in many ways by secularization, continues to be a stable presence in Japanese society, as is emblematically shown by the very symmetrical position of the Nishi (Honganji-ha) and the Higashi Honganji (Ōtani-ha) head temples in the center of Kyōto, and by the recent projects for their renovation. This book addresses the need for more academic research on Shin Buddhism, and is specifically directed at describing and analyzing distinctive social aspects of this religious tradition in historical and contemporary perspective. The contributions collected here cover a wide range of issues, including the intersection between Shin Buddhism and fields as diverse as politics, education, social movements, economy, culture and the media, social ethics, gender, and globalization.

"Did Chinese mysticism vanish after its first appearance in ancient Taoist philosophy, to surface only after a thousand years had passed, when the Chinese had adapted Buddhism to their own culture? This first integrated survey of the mystical dimension of Taoism disputes the commonly accepted idea of such a hiatus. Covering the period from the Daode jing to the end of the Tang, Livia Kohn reveals an often misunderstood Chinese mystical tradition that continued through the ages. Influenced by but ultimately independent of Buddhism, it took forms more various than the quietistic withdrawal of Laozi or the sudden enlightenment of the Chan Buddhists." "On the basis of a new theoretical evaluation of mysticism, this study analyzes the relationship between philosophical and religious Taoism and between Buddhism and the native Chinese tradition. Kohn shows how the quietistic and socially oriented Daode jing was combined with the ecstatic and individualistic mysticism of the Zhuangzi, with immortality beliefs and practices, and with Buddhist insight meditation, mind analysis, and doctrines of karma and retribution. She goes on to demonstrate that Chinese mysticism, a complex synthesis by the late Six Dynasties, reached its zenith in the Tang, laying the foundations for later developments in the Song traditions of Inner Alchemy, Chan Buddhism, and Neo-Confucianism.
