[Buddha-l] David Lopez's book on Science and Buddhism

[jkirk]

Maybe he was angling for a raise in pay and had to publish
something.

Dear All,

I think a more apt title would be something like "Buddhism and
Rationality in the second half of the 19th century and early
20th."

I felt like I had read most of the book elsewhere. And I found it
a little thin on substance.

I think the blurbs are, as always, exaggerated.

The chapter on neuroscience is particularly bad. Perhaps Lopez
felt like he had to say something about it since it is such a hot
topic, but he doesn't come across as being qualified for the
task.

In short, a disappointing read.

Best,

Alberto Todeschini
