editorialreviews

The notion of "view" or "opinion" (ditthi) as an obstacle to "seeing things as they are" is a central concept in Buddhist thought. This book considers the two ways in which the notion of views are usually understood. Are we to understand left-view as a correction of wrong-views (the opposition understanding) or is the aim of the Buddhist path the overcoming of all views, even left-view (the no-views understanding)? The author argues that neither approach is correct. Instead, he suggests that the early texts do not understand left-view as a correction of wrong-view, but as a detached order of seeing, completely different from the attitude of holding to any view, wrong or left.

Arguing that by the term "left-view" we should understand an order of seeing which transcends all views, this book makes a valuable addition to the study of Buddhist philosophy.
