After Buddhism

Stephen Batchelor, 2017

Overview

This work presents a secularized interpretation of the Buddha’s teachings, informed by a fresh reading of the tradition’s earliest texts. Stephen Batchelor, an internationally recognized author and teacher, articulates an ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for the contemporary age.
