These reverberations, as Angela Moorjani demonstrates, originated in his early reading of Schopenhauer. Drawing on letters and archives along with recent studies of Buddhist thought and Schopenhauer's knowledge of it, the book charts the Buddhist concepts circling through Beckett's visions of the 'human predicament' in a blend of tears and laughter. Moorjani offers an in-depth elucidation of texts that are shown to intersect with the negative and paradoxical path of the Buddha, which she sets in dialogue with Western thinking. She brings further perspectives from cognitive philosophy and science to bear on creative emptiness, the illusory 'I', and Beckett's probing of the writing process. Readers will benefit from this far-reaching study of one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century who explored uncharted topologies in his fiction, theatre, and poetry"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Buddhism, Schopenhauer, Beckett: Influence, Affinity, Relay? -- Schopenhauer's Buddhism Revisited: Recent Archival Evidence -- East-West Dialogue via Schopenhauer -- Buddhist and Mystic Threads in the Early Fiction -- Beckett's Paradoxical Logic through Buddhist and Western Lenses -- The Coincidence of Contraries and Noh Drama -- The No-Self Staged and Voices from Elsewhere -- Rebirth and the Buddhist Unborn in the Fiction and Drama -- Dreaming 'all away' in the Final Texts. 600 10 $a Beckett, Samuel, $d 1906-1989 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Schopenhauer, Arthur, $d 1788-1860 $x Influence. 600 17 $a Beckett, Samuel, $d 1906-1989. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00035621 650 0 $a Buddhism in literature. 650 0 $a Buddhist philosophy in literature. 650 7 $a Buddhism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840124 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Moorjani, Angela B. $t Beckett and Buddhism $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781009024082 $w (DLC) 2021044479 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020003.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FC9E1B0072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
