  • Taylor & Francis Indian Buddhist Theories of Persons

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn this book, Vasubandhu's classic work Refutation of the Theory of a Self is translated and provided with an introduction and commentary. The translation, the first into a modern Western language from the Sanskrit text, is intended for use by those who wish to begin a careful philosophical study of Indian Buddhist theories of persons. Special features of the introduction and commentary are their extensive explanations of the arguments for the theories of persons of Vasubandhu and the PudgalavÃdines, the Buddhist philosophers whose theory is the central target of Vasubandhu's refutation of the theory of a self.Trade Review'The translation itself (pp. 71-121) is lucid ... [In] Duerlinger's important long commentary ... [e]very nuance of the text is well-explored and analyzed. ... He gives to a classic Indian Buddhist Sanskrit text the sort of critical attention that specialists in Greek philosophy give to Greek philosophical texts. This is a book everyone who studies Indian philosophy should read, and I hope it will become a standard against which other works in the field may be judged.'– N.H.

  • Taylor & Francis Politics of Sexuality

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book recognises sexuality as a mainstream concept in political analysis and explores issues in the politics of sexuality that are highly salient and controversial today. These include conceptions of citizenship and nationality linked to gender and sexuality, the legislation about the age of consent, prostitution and 'trafficing in women', the international politics of population control, abortion, sexual harrassment, and sexuality in the military. The international team of contributors provide a wide range of perspectives in a variety of contexts. On a national level they offer illustrative case studies from the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain and Israel among others, and on an international plane they cover the European Union, the UN Conference on Population and Development and the role of the Vatican as international arbiter. Moreover, the volume addresses the interaction between political discourse and the work of major theorists such as Weber, Freud, Foucault, Irigaray andTable of ContentsIntroduction, Terrell Carver, Véronique Mottier; Part I Citizens’ sexualities; Chapter 1 Sexual citizenship, Terrell Carver; Chapter 2 Sexual citizens, Matthew Waites; Chapter 3 Sexuality and the law, John R.
