Book Description
What do the scriptures of Thravada Buddhism have to say about the most basic
psychological processes through which alternatives are assessed, purposes are
developed, and goal-oriented acts are initiated? How can Theravada make
volitional endeavour central to Buddhist practice, while denying the existence
of a self who wills? How can the text emphasize ethical striving, and yet uphold
the principle that all physical and mental acts arise through causes and
conditions? This book adds another perspective to Theravada scholarship by
exploring various subtle Pali terms that seek to display the nuances of human
motivation. Cetana is shown to be the purposive impetus that links ethically
good and bad
