The book explores the contrasting perceptions of Buddhism in Western thought, highlighting the shift from a 19th-century view that portrayed it as a religion advocating self-destruction to the modern understanding that emphasizes compassion and tolerance. Roger-Pol Droit delves into the philosophical imagination of that era, revealing how these historical interpretations have shaped contemporary views of Buddhism.
