Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Samsara means the continuous flow of births, lives, deaths, and rebirths. Buddhist teachings assert that all sentient beings are trapped in a recurring cycle and that suffering is a universal characteristic of them. The ultimate aim of dharma, the truth about what remains below the appearanc…e of reality, is to allow human beings to evade Samsara and reach Nirvana, the final liberation from illusion and suffering. Among the tools for achieving this goal, Buddhism prescribes meditation, compassion, and the cultivation of wisdom to overcome ignorance. We, humans, have an inexhaustible craving for justification, and words, thoughts, and reasoning are the tools we have to communicate. That's why we create philosophies as intellectual substitutes for experience. Yet this is a poor substitution because we attempt to speak about the unspeakable and to intellectually grasp what can only be achieved through an uncommunicable experience. That's not an intellectual endeavor, even though the repeated attempts by many Buddhist masters to justify their teachings culminated in a sophisticated philosophical construction whose understanding is far from trivial. It harbors a paradox: if reality as we perceive it is unreal, everything we may know is flawed by an intrinsic imperfection, and even we ourselves, the knowers, are not what we may imagine to be. That subtlety explains why engaging with the tenets of Buddhist teachings may appear convoluted, paradoxical, or nonsensical: they seek to convey something that must be experienced rather than described. Then, metaphorical narratives, or paradoxical questions, are often the best way to convey a kind of knowledge that, being reasonable, looks irrational. This book is a tentative offering of some reflections on and around these issues. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Actions are essential to giving meaning to any human experience. They are twofold concepts that bridge the subjective world of the individual's consciousness with the objective world, where their actions produce changes. Actions stem from interests and power: the interest in the actions' con…sequences and the power to act. Interests create motivations, and motivations promote actions. However, performing actions implies changing the world, which may challenge others' interests. Then, one may suppose there will be reactions. Even if not, the sheer inertia of situations is a hindrance to be overcome. That's why power is necessary to act.Examining actions' objective consequences, we may infer the subjective motives that, because they are subjective, cannot be observed otherwise. The pragmatic theory of action is a theory of meaning; it's the use of the pragmatic criterion of meaning to assess human action and its consequences, plus the acknowledgment that meaning is essential to every human endeavor.The core of the pragmatic theory of action is Peirce's pragmatism-the idea that the meaning of any action is given-and is only given-by its consequences. However, we soon discover that we cannot go without the subjective attribution of meaning and its related assessment. We deal with strategic actions, understood as purposeful. Then, it's essential to the interaction that each actor assesses the actions' results in the face of how they affect these actors' interests, which again requires attribution of meaning in a subjective procedure. So, we must understand the pragmatic principle as a departure from a metaphysical ground for meaning in favor of a practical, strategic one.To develop these considerations, we make a distinction between agents, who perform actions, and actors, entities whose will commands their performative agents. That's very easy to understand in formal organizations, mainly strongly hierarchical ones, like in the military. However, we are all performative agents for formal and informal actors in society. How much our actions are our own or result from other actors' influence is the book's main focus. This item is printed on demand.
