Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This work is an innovative, daring introduction to the philosophy and psychology of equanimity. Michael Uebel challenges the view that equanimity is the effect of a method aiming at states of impartial quiescence and solidity. Reanimating equanimity, "Seeds" allows new understandings of the concept to emerge through creative and rigorous attention to its genealogy as an idea centrally defined by flexibility, multiperspectivism, and non-teleological attitudes. Responding to the vertiginous increase in writings on mindful living, Uebel productively blends both Eastern and Western philosophies, generating a rich constellation of ideas framing equanimity as an epistemological mode and existential condition.
