Biography
Graham Priest is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the City University of New York Graduate Center. His books include: In Contradiction (1987, 2006), Beyond the Limits of Thought (1995, 2002), Introduction to Non-classical Logic (2001, 2008), Towards Non-being (2005, 2016), Doubt Truth to Be a Liar (2006), One (2014), and The Fifth Corner of Four (2018).
"Although there have been a number of attempts recently to combine Buddhism and Marxism, this is the first full length systematic demonstration of how these two perspectives are complementary and can mutually supplement each other to guide the political praxis that would create a more humane world. The author skillfully inserts elements of anarchism in order to challenge the top-down political thinking that has all too often infected Marxism and presents a powerful argument for the necessity of building a bottom-up revolutionary movement that would pre-figure a post-capitalist society. Overall, the author draws on an impressive range of philosophical, psychological, and political resources to show how effective social political action requires a fundamental shift in our way of seeing and of being in the world."
