Stephen Batchelor presents a rigorous re-examination of early Buddhist texts, stripping away centuries of metaphysical accretion to reveal a pragmatic, existential framework. By situating the Buddha as a historical figure rather than a divine entity, the author argues for a secularized practice centered on ethical inquiry and the cultivation of mindful awareness in the contemporary world.
