Beskrivning
Buddhist Statecraft in East Asia explores the long relationship between Buddhism and the state in premodern times and seeks to counter the modern, secularist notion that Buddhism, as a religion, is inherently apolitical. By revealing the methods by which members of Buddhist communities across premodern East Asia related to imperial rule, this volume offers case studies of how Buddhists, their texts, material culture, ideas, and institutions legitimated rulers and defended regimes across the region.The volume also reveals a history of Buddhist writing, protest, and rebellion against the state. Contributors are Stephanie Balkwill, James A. Benn, Megan Bryson, Gregory N. Evon, Geoffrey C. Goble, Richard D. McBride II, and Jacqueline I. Stone.

Recensioner i media

"The contributors have succeeded in creating a volume that is as accessible as it is thought-provoking. [...] This volume would therefore be of particular use in the classroom and to those who are new to the study of Buddhism. More experienced students of Buddhism would also benefit from the well-researched and diverse case studies." – Joseph Chadwin, Religious Studies 48. 2 (June 2022)
