Awakening-Struggle: Towards a Buddhist Critical Social Theory

Robert Hattam

4.9/5 (12486 ratings)

Description:The ground-breaking book offers the first extensive comparison of critical theory with socially-engaged Buddhism. Both traditions are concerned with the same thing, liberating/awakening society, but their contexts are so different that the relationship between them has not received the attention it deserves.Awakening-Struggle culminates in an attempt to outline a Buddhist-inspired critical theory, focusing on how personal transformation - understood from a Buddhist perspective - might be the basis for social change. Against the tendency of so much social critique to lose sight of personal agency, Hattam shows us how to think more deeply about the dialectic of self and social delusion.Professor David Loy, Bunkyo University, JapanSubjects: Buddhism Religious Groups, Social & Cultural Aspects, Sociology, Social TheoryAbout the AuthorRobert Hattam is an Associate Professor in the School of Education and the Director of the Centre for Research in Education.
