Differentiating the Pearl from the Fish-Eye: Ouyang Jingwu and the Revival of Scholastic Buddhism
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-43790-6 (ISBN)
In Differentiating the Pearl from the Fish-Eye, Eyal Aviv offers an account of Ouyang Jingwu (1871-1943), a leading intellectual who revived the Buddhist scholastic movement during the early Republican period in China.
Ouyang believed that authentic Indian Buddhism was an alternative to the prevalent Chinese Buddhist doctrines of his time. Aviv shows how Ouyang’s rhetoric of authenticity won the movement well-known admirers but also influential critics. This debate shaped modern intellectual history in China and has lost none of its relevancy today.
Eyal Aviv, Ph.D. (2008), George Washington University, is an Assistant Professor at the Departments of Religion and the Honors program. He has published articles on Ouyang Jingwu and on many other aspects of modern Buddhism in China. He is also interested in the reception of Indian Buddhist Philosophy in China.
