"Human experience is not confined to waking life. Do experiences in dreams matter?
Humans are not the only living beings who have experiences. Does nonhuman experience
matter? The Buddhist philosopher Vasubandhu, writing during the late fourth and early
fifth centuries C.E., argues in his work "The Twenty Verses" that these alternative
contexts ought to inform our understanding of mind and world. Vasubandhu invites readers
to explore experiences in dreams and to inhabit the experiences of nonhuman beings-animals,
hungry ghosts, and beings in hell. Other Lives offers a deep engagement with Vasubandhu's
account of mind in a global philosophical perspective. Sonam Kachru takes up Vasubandhu's
challenge to think with perspective-diversifying contexts, showing how his novel theory
draws together action and perception, minds and worlds. Kachru pieces together the
conceptual system in which Vasubandhu thought to show the deep originality of the
argument. He reconstructs Vasubandhu's ecological concept of mind, in which mindedness
is meaningful only in a nexus with life and world, to explore its ongoing philosophical
significance. Engaging with a vast range of classical, modern, and contemporary Asian
and Western thought, Other Lives is both a groundbreaking work in Buddhist studies
and a model of truly global philosophy. The book also includes an accessible new translation
of "The Twenty Verses", providing a fresh introduction to one of the most influential
works of Buddhist thought"
