Lewis Lancaster on Buddhism in the Modern Age

October 31, 2010 by Mark Linsenmayer 3 Comments

To counter some of the fluff I've been posting, here's a whole lecture by Lewis Lancaster, founder of the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (which he explains in the lecture) that says something about the content and history of Buddhism:


Watch on youtube.

I've not watched the whole thing, so I can't guarantee that he doesn't conclude the lecture by saying something crazy like "and also, Buddhists caused 9/11" or "also, the Buddha was actually a space alien who ate brains." So I'll leave you to check it out for any Halloween surprises.

    Buddhists say we cannot know dang-en-sine (sp), so Kant isn;t so innovative after all.

    Their focus on perceptions seems to predate the empiricists a bit.

    I just watched the whole thing, Mark.
    He never said anything nutty.
    It was the most information I’ve ever gotten in 52 minutes.
    Of course, I buy into the whole Buddhist thing so I’m biased.
    He may have said something nutty and I just didn’t perceive it so.
    Thanks for posting the video.

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion

Become a PEL Citizen!
