“In Love with Wisdom offers a thoughtful and methodologically careful comparison of early Greek philosophy with early Buddhist thought. The authors engage critically with sources that are often fragmentary, problematic, or textually uncertain, demonstrating both philological precision and philosophical sensitivity. Particularly valuable is their effort to clarify concepts frequently oversimplified in modern discourse, such as dukkha/du?kha. Written in an accessible yet intellectually rigorous manner, this book will be rewarding both for specialists and for readers new to the subject.”

– Dr. Olga Kubica, assistant professor at the University of Wroclaw and author of Greco-Buddhist Relations in the Hellenistic Far East

“Eschewing the narrowly linguistic or genealogical models of earlier scholarship, the authors undertake instead a philosophical reconstruction of the questions that animated early Greek and Buddhist thinkers respectively. In Love with Wisdom thus opens new pathways for understanding the parallel emergence of reflective thought across ancient civilizations, offering a major contribution to the comparative study of philosophy and religion.”
