It demonstrates that phenomenological method has the power to reanimate ancient Buddhist texts, giving new life to the phenomena at which those texts point.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeginning with descriptions of how mindfulness is encountered in everyday, pre-philosophical life, the book moves on to an analysis of how the Pali Nikāyas of Theravada Buddhism define mindfulness and the practice of cultivating it. It then offers a critique of the contemporary attempts to explain mindfulness as a kind of attention. The author argues that mindfulness is not attention, nor can it be understood as a mere modification of the attentive process. Rather, becoming mindful involves a radical shift in perspective. According to the author's account, being mindful is the feeling of being tuned-in to the open horizon, which is contrasted with Edmund Husserl's transcendental horizon. The book also elucidates the difference between the practice of cultivating mindfulness with the practice of the phenomenological \u003ci\u003eepoché\u003c\/i\u003e, which reveals new possibilities for the practice of phenomenology itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhenomenological Reflections on Mindfulness in the Buddhist Tradition\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in phenomenology, Buddhist philosophy, and comparative philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErol Čopelj\u003c\/strong\u003e received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Monash University, Australia and Warwick University, UK.
