New York: Barnes & Noble, 1998. Hardbound in very good condition in a very good dust jacket.. 498 pages. Seymour-Smith is extraordinarily erudite, exhibiting an encyclopedic grasp of virtually every area of knowledge. From the I Ching, The Iliad and The Upanishads to Gurdjieff, Wittgenstein and B.F. Skinner, he has selected 100 books and/or authors that have significantly influenced the human paradigm (he includes T.S. Kuhn for making 'paradigm' a significant concept). In addition to including Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, number 94 chronologically, he refers to aspects of Gurdjieff's teaching in the context of other influential works where he sees a correlation, in the Enneads of Plotinus, The Kabbalah and Soren Kierkegard. By 'Most Influential' Seymour-Smith does not mean great. He means significantly affecting human thought and perspective.

Yale University Press, 2015. New cloth bound in dust jacket.. 381 pages. Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha's teachings. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age. After Buddhism, the culmination of four decades of study and practice in the Tibetan, Zen, and Theravada traditions, is his attempt to set the record straight about who the Buddha was and what he was trying to teach. Combining critical readings of the earliest canonical texts with narrative accounts of five members of the Buddha's inner circle, Batchelor depicts the Buddha as a pragmatic ethicist rather than a dogmatic metaphysician. He envisions Buddhism as a constantly evolving culture of awakening whose long survival is due to its capacity to reinvent itself and interact creatively with each society it encounters.
