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","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47701998338392,"sku":"9781032112497","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032112497_741589d5-8f54-4ba8-aaa0-aff59e7ed09f.jpg?v=1768561246","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/phenomenological-reflections-on-mindfulness-in-the-buddhist-tradition","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
