Buddhism, Knowledge and Liberation: A Philosophical Study Burton David
Buddhism is essentially a teaching about liberation - from suffering, ignorance, selfishness and continued rebirth. This book is a philosophical study of the notion of liberating knowledge as it occurs in a range of Buddhist sources. Knowledge of 'the way things really are' is thought by many Buddhists to be vital in bringing about this emancipation.
It argues that this claim must be seen in the context of the Buddhist path and training as a whole. Buddhism, Knowledge and Liberation assesses the common Buddhist idea that knowledge of the three characteristics of existence (impermanence, not-self and suffering) is the key to liberation. Detailed attention is also given to anti-realist, sceptical and mystical strands within the Buddhist tradition, all of which make distinctive claims about liberating knowledge and the nature of reality.
