RELIGION AND SCIENCE
Great Minds Don’t Think Alike
A Global History of Buddhism and Medicine
Debates on Consciousness, Reality, Intelligence, Faith, Time, AI, Immortality, and the Human
C. Pierce Salguero
Edited and with commentary by Marcelo Gleiser
Leading scientists, philosophers, historians, and public intellectuals debate the big questions. These public dialogues model constructive engagement between the sciences and the humanities—and show why intellectual cooperation is necessary to shape our collective future.
This book is a wide-ranging and accessible account of the interplay between Buddhism and medicine over the past two and a half millennia. C. Pierce Salguero traces the intertwining threads linking ideas, practices, and texts from many different times and places.
