]]> In this presentation, viewing Buddhism from a self-knowledge standpoint, Professor of Philosophy Christopher W. Gowans (Fordham University) will examine a variety of Buddhist practices鈥攅thical, philosophical, and meditative鈥攁s these practices have been understood in the traditional 鈥減ath鈥 approaches (Buddhist practice as a path from suffering to an enlightened life of tranquility and compassion) and the rather different 鈥渆xploration鈥 approach that emerges in Chan and Zen Buddhism (Buddhist practice as expressing and exploring what it means not to be a self). Among Gowan’s publications is Self-Cultivation Philosophies in Ancient India, Greece, and China (Oxford University Press, 2021).
