Buddhism and Human FlourishingA Modern Western Perspective /[electronic resource] :by Seth Zuihō Segall. - 1st ed. 2020. - XVI, 193 p.online resource.

Chapter 1 The Changing Nature of Buddhism -- Chapter 2 What is Enlightenment? -- Chapter 3 What is Eudaimonia? -- Chapter 4 The Fate of Traditional Enlightenment in the West -- Chapter 5 Suffering and the Cessation of Suffering -- Chapter 6 Self and Self-Transcendence -- Chapter 7 Buddhist Ethics and Eudaimonic Enlightenment -- Chapter 8 Metaphysical Humility: The Eudaimonic Enlightenment Model and Beyond.

“Buddhism and Human Flourishing is an admirably thoughtful work of comparative practical philosophy and psychology. It is one of the few books from a modern Buddhist perspective that grapples with the realities of historical and cultural context and with what it means to take up ideas and practices from a very different time and place with nuance and complexity. A rare fusion of erudition and accessibility, it will be of interest to scholars and practitioners alike.” –David L. McMahan, Charles A. Dana Professor of Religious Studies, Franklin & Marshall College, USA “Seth Zuihō Segall is one of a kind: a Zen Buddhist priest, a hospital chaplain associate, psychotherapist, existentialist, peace activist, and as fluent in recent philosophical debates about the nature of self and consciousness as in the history and philosophy of Buddhism. In this timely, crystal clear book, Segall defends a version of Buddhist modernism attuned to the sensibilities of secular and scientifically minded people. How can people in the lineage of Plato and Aristotle and the Abrahamic traditions adapt and adopt Buddhist beliefs and sensibilities? In this terrific book, Seth Segall shows a way.” –Owen Flanagan, James B. Duke Professor of Philosophy, Duke University, USA The Buddha and Aristotle offer competing visions of the best possible life to which human beings can aspire. In this volume, Seth Zuihō Segall compares Theravāda and Mahāyāna accounts of enlightenment with Aristotelian and neo-Aristotelian accounts of eudaimonia, and proposes a syncretic model of eudaimonic enlightenment that, given prevalent Western beliefs about well-being and human flourishing, provides a credible new end-goal for modern Western Buddhist practice. He then demonstrates how this proposed synthesis is already deeply reflected in contemporary Western Buddhist rhetoric. Segall re-evaluates traditional Buddhist teachings on desire, attachment, aversion, nirvāṇa, and selfhood from the eudaimonic enlightenment perspective, and explores the perspective’s ethical and metaphysical implications. .
