I'm looking forward to reading this as well. It's becoming clearer through my studies that Buddhism and Western Science have a lot to learn from each other. I'm noticing more right now how Buddhist teachings don't quite cover enough ground to describe how the mind works, although it is amazingly comprehensive. We've had this come up in classes and Phil Stanley is great in that he readily admits where it falls short. He mentioned in class that he thinks there will be a new Buddhist epistemology in the next 50 years. I'm guessing that it will be updated with the wisdom of Western Science. my reading for Studying Buddhism this week: cognitive anthropology and connectionist theory:P Thanks for sharing this.
