For the last forty years critical theories in Europe have been positing critiques of western society without fully embracing Buddhist traditions.

The entire purpose of the book is to see if Buddhism and Critical Theory can create pathways out of actual oppressions due to 'clinging of mind' which Buddhism says is the cause of suffering (Dukkha).
