New Books in Philosophy · Stephen Harris, "Buddhist Ethics and the Bodhisattva Path: Santideva on Virtue and Well-Being" (Bloomsbury, 2023) · 20 Jul 2024 podcast

There's there's a lot there.

Uh for the sake of time, I'm going to resist my temptation to to dive to dive in.

But um you you do it I'll just note at the end of this chapter you and and the others you have uh sort of questions for for thought for for students and and others using this um this book and and indeed one of your questions is about this issue of righteous anger and injustice and

And so I think it's something that that readers will have definitely one to to think through in in in more detail.

Um so one thing that you just talked about in uh the discussion of anger is this idea of compassion, how uh maybe instead of righteous anger we could think of things we could think of um employing compassion as a motivating uh force for resolving injustice and

And compassion is the subject of the fourth chapter of the book.

And it's probably probably one of the more famous Buddhist virtues for people who don't know anything about Buddhism.

Uh and s so in this chapter you talk about perspective taking and how it's crucial to cultivating compassion.

So there's some sort of cognitive emotional shift involved.

So uh maybe could you say a little bit about how

that training works in cultivating compassion for the other.

And again, I know the background here is

Yeah, the self and other distinction is not gonna be quite the same as in our Brahmanical friends, so uh it might be something to to think about too.

Great.

Thanks.

L let's turn to the chapter on joy.

You mentioned joy a little bit uh a few moments ago, and this isn't one of the the virtues, um, or per and the perfections, I should say, rather, um, and it's not one that he devotes a

a chapter two, but you argue that it's really important h in his account of the virtues.

And I just wanted to maybe focus our attention on a passage that you you quote in that you translate um in um

seven sixty two, where he says, talking about, I guess, moral uh actions that one should be intensely addicted to the action and turned into.
