Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Dust Jacket Included. Buddhism had already spread far into other countries before it declined in India in the eleventh century A.D. Hinayana flourished in Ceylone Burma Siam and Cambodia Mystic Buddhism developed in Tibet Mahayana grew in China. In Japan the whole of Buddhism became the living and active faith of the masses. The present study relates to Japanese Buddhism as in Japan alone the whole of Buddhism is preserved. The author presents Buddhist philosophy in an ideological sequence and not in its historical sequence as Prof. Stcherbatsky has done in his Buddhist Logic. But the ideological sequence as presented by the author is not the sequence in the development of ideas it is rather the systematization of the different schools of thought for the purpose of easier approach. Divided into fifteen chapters the book deals with different schools of Buddhist philosophy. The author has grouped these schools under two heads 1. The schools of negative rationalism ie the religion of dialectic investigation and 2. The schools of introspective intuitionism ie the religion of meditative experience. The author treats these schools in most scientific and elaborate way. (jacket) 235 pp.
