Figments and Fragments of Mahayana Buddhism in India: More Collected Papers
by Gregory Schopen
Studies in the Buddhist Traditions
Published with the Institute for the Study of Buddhist Traditions, University of Michigan
“Unquestionably the freshest, most exciting scholarship to have emerged in the field in half a century. [Schopen] is amazingly prolific, unfailingly interesting, enrichingly edifying and, more often than not, completely convincing. . . . He seeks to do for Buddhist studies what Marx did to Hegel: to stand it on its head.” —Buddhist Studies Review
In these articles, Gregory Schopen once again displays the erudition and originality that have contributed to a major shift in the way that Indian Buddhism is perceived, understood, and studied.illus.
Gregory Schopen is professor of Indian and Buddhist studies and chair of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, UCLA.
