Buddhism: The Religion of Analysis

By Nolan Pliny Jacobson

First published in 1966, Buddhism presents a convincing modern interpretation of the teachings of the Buddha. The author has written out of a conviction that Buddhism, especially in its early Theravada sources, has something significant to say to modern man. The author argues that the West provides a new ground for an appreciative understanding of what the Buddha taught. The primary purpose of the book is to facilitate an understanding of Buddhism, emphasizing its focus on rational inquiry and the analysis of human experience as a path to enlightenment. This is an important historical reference work for students of Buddhism, Buddhist philosophy and religion.
