Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Brings Edmund Husserl's phenomenology and Chinese Yogacara Buddhism into dialogue to explore their perceived incommensurable stances towards the concept of essence.
MoreLong description:
How is constructive cultural exchange possible when traditions hold such contradictory views? Jingjing Li brings Edmund Husserl's phenomenology and Chinese Yogacara Buddhism into dialogue to explore the concept of essence.
While phenomenology and Yogacara Buddhism are both known for their investigations of consciousness, there exists a core tension between them: phenomenology affirms the existence of essence, whereas Yogacara Buddhism argues that everything is empty of essence (svabhava). Answering this question and positioning both philosophical traditions in their respective intellectual and linguistic contexts, Li argues that what Husserl means by essence differs from what Chinese Yogacarins mean by svabhava. We see how Husserl problematises the substantialist understanding of essence in European philosophy.
Detailing the process of finding a middle ground between the two traditions, Li's rich study demonstrates how both can thrive together in order to overcome Orientalism. She reveals that Chinese Yogacara has developed a distinct account of self-transformation, ethics and social ontology that renders it much more than simply a Buddhist version of Husserlian phenomenology.
