Academic Discipline
Scholars have applied a host of academic theories and methods to the study of Buddhism. Different tools and philosophies, from European phenomenology to social scientific innovations and more recent developments in feminism and gender theory, have changed the landscape of Buddhist Studies. These works do not share particular subjects so much as theories, methods, and overall scholastic approaches.
