Forget Traditional Doctrines! A Skeptical Buddhist Shares his Practical Philosophy. With Stephen Batchelor

Throwback Thursday Encore: I listened to Ezra Kleins NY Times Opinion podcast the other day as Ezra interviewed one of my favorite Buddhist authors, Stephen Batchelor. It reminded me that I’d interviewed Stephen in 2016 and loved chatting with him. His philosophy is timeless, so I thought I’d encore it today.

Stephen is a Scottish Buddhist teacher and Author known for his secular or agnostic approach to Buddhism. His focus is on experience, ethics, and human flourishing over traditional doctrines like karma and rebirth. He was previously a monk in the Tibetan and Zen traditions before developing a more skeptical, and pragmatic buddhist approach, detailed in his earlier books like Buddhism Without Beliefs and Confessions of a Buddhist Atheist. His current book is called Buddha, Socrates, and Us: Ethical Living in Uncertain Times. We don’t cover this here since our interview is from 2016…but I’m looking forward to reading the new book.
