Bernadette Baker provides a critical reading of the Dalai Lama’s recent treatment of the contrasts between Buddhist conceptualizations of truth, evidence, and reality and those of the so-called Western sciences. Baker develops a number of intertwining lines of thought, including a central concern with the place of border-thinking in all such conceptualizations. Throughout, questions are raised regarding how we, as a field, choose to conceive of the relations between empirical reality and truth.Downloads
