A Buddhist feminist social ethics for contemporary times.Offering a feminist analysis of foundational Buddhist texts, along with a Buddhist approach to social issues in a globalized world, HsiaoLan Hu revitalizes Buddhist social ethics for contemporary times. Hus feminist exegesis references the Nikayas from the Discourse Basket of the Pali Canon. These texts, among the earliest in the Buddhist canon, are considered to contain the sayings of the Buddha and his disciples and are recognized by all Buddhist schools. At the heart of the ethics that emerges is the Buddhist notion of interdependent coarising, which addresses the sexism, classism, and frequent overemphasis on individual liberation, as opposed to communal wellbeing, for which Buddhism has been criticized. Hu notes the Buddhas challenge to social hierarchies during his life and compares the notion of nonSelf to the poststructuralist feminist rejection of the autonomous subject, maintaining that neither dissolves moral responsibility or agency. Notions of kamma, nibbana, and dukkha (suffering) are discussed within the communal context offered by insights from interdependent coarising and the Noble Eightfold Path. This work uniquely bridges the worlds of Buddhism, feminism, social ethics, and activism and will be of interest to scholars, students, and readers in all of these areas.HsiaoLan Hus work is an elegant contribution to Buddhist theology, as well as to feminist and peace studies, social ethics, and engaged Buddhism. Few have done the level of analysis shes done, bringing both Buddhist and feminist thought together to create something new. Even fewer have done it so well. This is a great book.
