具体描述
Buddhism has become a uniquely favored religion in our modern age. A burgeoning number of books extol the scientifically proven benefits of meditation and mindfulness for everything ranging from business to romance. There are conferences, courses, and celebrities promoting the notion that Buddhism is spirituality for the rational; compatible with cutting-edge science; indeed, “a science of the mind.” In this provocative book, Evan Thompson argues that this representation of Buddhism is false.
In lucid and entertaining prose, Thompson dives deep into both Western and Buddhist philosophy to explain how the goals of science and religion are fundamentally different. Efforts to seek their unification are wrongheaded and promote mistaken ideas of both. He suggests cosmopolitanism instead, a worldview with deep roots in both Eastern and Western traditions. Smart, sympathetic, and intellectually ambitious, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Buddhism’s place in our world today.

主题是对魔改佛教（buddhist modernism）的开炮。我太喜欢第四章（对mindfulness科研的批判）和第五章（对enlightenment和liberation的定义）了，开了一摞书单回去。为什么我写毕业论文的时候这本书没出版呢嘤嘤嘤，用4E理论来理解注意力训练和禅修，这么骚的课题谁不想做啊！！！我导做梦都会笑醒（不会
评分##As a layman in both philosophy and buddhism, I find some chapters difficult. But I like how the author lays out his arguments in "Is buddhism true?" and "mindfulness mania". I myself have been considering some of the issues for some time, but could never think them through like the author does.
评分##有对流行的正念、冥想的拨乱反正
评分##WRONG STORY COSMOPOLITANISM BUDDHIST EXCEPTIONALISM 看出问题了没?这人认为所有文化全都平等，因为佛教似乎在嘲笑他的愚痴，然后他不服，不能有任何文化超过他的“科学”，所有文化全都不能例外地作为他拿去让这个现代文化更加丰富。但凡有点品味的人跟有禅定体验的人都不会觉得这书有什么价值的。Evan Thompson，一只十足的idiot。

评分##对Buddhist Modernism批判一番。find it dull and repetitive when reading the philosophic arguments, but the debunking of evolutionary psychology (which constantly appears as a pseudo-scientific explanation of human behavior in media) and the 4E cognitive science are informative for a lay person and once "spiritual" Buddhist modernist like me :(
