資料の内容に関する注記While the Neo-Confucian critique of Buddhism is fairly well-known, little attention has been given to the Buddhist reactions to this harangue. The fact is, however, that over a dozen apologetic essays have been written by Buddhists in China, Korea, and Japan in response to the Neo-Confucians. 'Buddhist Apologetics in East Asia' offers an introduction to this Buddhist literary genre. It centers on full translations of two dominant apologetic works -- the 'Hufa lun', written by a Buddhist politician in twelfth-century China, and the 'Yusok chirui non', authored by an anonymous monk in fifteenth-century Korea. Put together, these two texts demonstrate the wide variety of polemical strategies and the cross-national intertextuality of East Asian Buddhist apologetics.
