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.
##看到前兩章,居然感到很興奮~
評分##有對流行的正念、冥想的撥亂反正
評分##對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 :(

評分##WRONG STORY COSMOPOLITANISM BUDDHIST EXCEPTIONALISM 看齣問題瞭沒?這人認為所有文化全都平等,因為佛教似乎在嘲笑他的愚癡,然後他不服,不能有任何文化超過他的“科學”,所有文化全都不能例外地作為他拿去讓這個現代文化更加豐富。但凡有點品味的人跟有禪定體驗的人都不會覺得這書有什麼價值的。Evan Thompson,一隻十足的idiot。

評分主題是對魔改佛教(buddhist modernism)的開炮。我太喜歡第四章(對mindfulness科研的批判)和第五章(對enlightenment和liberation的定義)瞭,開瞭一摞書單迴去。為什麼我寫畢業論文的時候這本書沒齣版呢嚶嚶嚶,用4E理論來理解注意力訓練和禪修,這麼騷的課題誰不想做啊!!!我導做夢都會笑醒(不會
