Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism is a comprehensive study of the
Buddhist tradition. The series explores this complex and extensive tradition
from a variety of perspectives, using a range of different methodologies.
The series is diverse in its focus, including historical, philological,
cultural, and sociological investigations into the manifold features and
expressions of Buddhism worldwide. It also presents works of constructive
and reflective analysis, including the role of Buddhist thought and
scholarship in a contemporary, critical context and in the light of current
social issues. The series is expansive and imaginative in scope, spanning
more than two and a half millennia of Buddhist history. It is receptive to
all research works that are of significance and interest to the broader
field of Buddhist Studies.
Some of the titles in the series are published in association with the
Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies, which conducts and promotes rigorous
teaching and research into all forms of the Buddhist tradition.
