Excerpt from Hobbes's Leviathan; Harrington's Ocean; Famous Pamphlets: A. D. 1644 to A. D. 1795 The death of William Cavendish, not long after his attainment of the Earldom. Left Hobbes free for a short time. And he went to France as tutor to the son of Sir Gervase Clifton, but he was recalled to Chatsworth by the Dowager Countess to take charge of the son who was now Earl of Devonshire, and he was but a boy of thirteen. With him Hobbes went again to Italy and France, made the acquaintance of Gassendi and Descartes, and fastened with fresh ardour on philosophy and mathematics.

Genealogies of Mah?y?na Buddhism
Author: Joseph G WalserPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317354583
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Genealogies of Mahāyāna Buddhism offers a solution to the monumental problem that some have called the "holy grail" of Buddhist studies: the problem of the “origins” of Mahāyāna Buddhism. As much as it contributes to a theory of origins for religious studies and Buddhist Studies, the book argues that that it is the neglect of political power in the scholarly imagination of Buddhism in history that has made the origins of Mahāyāna an intractable problem. Walser challenges commonly-held assumptions, offering a fascinating new take on the genealogy of Mahāyāna that traces its doctrines of emptiness and mind-only from the present day back to the time before Mahāyāna was “Mahāyāna.” In situating such concepts in their political and social history across diverse regimes of power in Tibet, China and India, the book shows that what was at stake in the Mahāyāna championing of the doctrine of emptiness was the articulation and dissemination of court authority across the rural landscapes of Asia. This text will be will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and scholars of Buddhism, religious studies, history, and philosophy.
