It is called, in Buddhist thought, Attasammāpaṇidhi, which means the characteristics of right self-conduct or right self-guidance. An exploration of the concept is important in Thai higher education because of the related Buddhist precept of Yonisomanasikāra, which are methods of thinking with critical reflections. This chapter considers some explanations of what knowledge might be when one knows that one is capable of proper self-guidance, with specific attention to the university learning environment. The question of Attasammāpaṇidhi is examined in terms of epistemological arguments between moral particularism and moral generalism. The arguments from both of the encampments are mistaken about the status of being a knower. I argue that the knowledge of Attasammāpaṇidhi should be explained as moral self-knowledge from performative ...

In the present book, with her interest in Greek philosophy and medieval science, Glasner presents us a remarkable depiction of a fourteenth-century philosopher-scientist Levi ben Gershom (1288-1344), who is also known as Gersonides. Her research tells us that Gersonides mostly lived his life in the town of Orange in Provence. He grew up in an intellectual environment where he would be able to have not only a number of studies in various branches of knowledge such as philosophy, astronomy, natural science, mathematics, theology, etc. but also an opportunity to study the knowledge from different perspectives such as from Greek philosophy, Arabic philosophy, and, of course, Jewish philosophy (pp. 13-18). Glasner offers a brief sketch of a long-lasting problem in the medieval period. It was the incompatibility between (a.) Aristotelian perspectives on natural sciences, lo...

Bernstein professor in Jewish Studies, and Chair of Center for Jewish Studies in the Department of Religion and Classics at the University of Rochester. Although he is not just the one who asks questions concerning philosophy in an outstanding Jewish academic tradition, in his present book he really is. Is it possible or not for us to hear from a voice of Jewish people on 'how to do philosophy in Jewish's own way'? , Hughes' answer at the end of his book is not only positive but also in a newly manner. Before reading Hughes' book, the first thought that came to my mind aside from what the title referred to was about the long-term argument in metaphysics of properties whether they were particular or universal. But after reading it, I found that it was entirely not the same point. Hughes was not worried that much about what should be prioritized in the philosophy of properties between the particular and the universal, but instead about how uniqueness of Jewish philosophy could be explicated in term of its dominant characteristic of playing with the duality of particularism and universalism. In other words, Hughes' concern is to present us his interpretation on the particularistic tradition of Jewish philosophy and its inner oxymoronic universal/particular character. Hughes claims that Jewish philosophy has always confronted with its paradox of what to do philosophy in its own Jewish way (p.28). To do philosophy sounds not a reserved activity that one
