Stephen Batchelor writes about Buddhism from a secular and historical perspective, questioning how much of traditional doctrine is necessary for contemporary practice. Buddhism Without Beliefs presents the dharma as a practical way of living with uncertainty rather than a system that requires assent to rebirth or other metaphysical claims. Confession of a Buddhist Atheist combines memoir with research into the historical Buddha, while After Buddhism reconstructs early teachings around ethical practice, community and human experience. Batchelor’s writing is reflective, critical and accessible, often challenging both religious orthodoxy and simplistic Western adaptations. His work suits readers of secular Buddhism, Buddhist history, meditation and philosophical writing about practice without dogma. Read more Less
