The Buddha and his Dhamma: A Critical Edition
Description
This landmark work presents a modern, critical interpretation of the Buddha’s life, teachings, and ethical vision, drawing on the breadth of Buddhist scripture and tradition. It explores Dhamma as a rational and socially engaged path centered on morality, compassion, equality, and human liberation. This critical edition of the posthumously published text includes a new introduction, detailed footnotes, and annotations that clarify sources, references, and passages in the original manuscript. Together, these editorial features make the work more accessible while preserving its importance as a distinctive rethinking of Buddhism and its relevance to social transformation.
