About this audiobook
A Treatise on Secular Buddhism, Volume III of III: Science, Society, Critique, and the Secular Path brings the three-volume inquiry into its most contemporary terrain. Richard Murdoch Montgomery examines the philosophy of self, cognitive science, neuroscience, Buddhist-derived therapies, evolution, politics, violence, social exclusion, ecology, artificial intelligence, digital desire, cultural appropriation, authority and abuse, McMindfulness, and major philosophical challenges to Buddhist thought. The final chapters return to emptiness, non-duality, time, language, compassion, and awakening as process. Scholarly yet accessible, the volume distinguishes inherited Buddhist claims from modern reconstruction, empirical evidence from interpretation, and contemplative insight from institutional authority, concluding with a practical secular path grounded in attention, compassion, accountability, and revision.
