Our guest today is Robert M Ellis, who is the chair of the Middle Way Society. For anyone unfamiliar with the society’s aims, it is devoted to developing the theory and practice of the Middle Way beyond the limitations of the Buddhist tradition. From this universal perspective, the Middle Way is understood as a principle of judgement that throws us onto experience by avoiding absolutes, both positive and negative . Robert has a PhD in Philosophy which formed the starting point of his work in developing Middle Way thought as an innovative practical philosophy drawing on various aspects of modern thought. He has produced a series of books on the subject including the Buddha’s Middle Way and the Christian Middle Way and he’s talk to us today about the Middle Way Philosophy series of books that he’s working on.
