Routledge Personal Identity and Buddhist Philosophy - Ashgate Series

Personal Identity and Buddhist Philosophy, second edition by Mark Siderits explores the intersection of Buddhist and Western philosophical traditions, examining how conceptual frameworks from each can illuminate understanding of the self and personal identity. Since the 2003 publication of the original work, the field of Buddhist philosophy has undergone significant transformation with unprecedented growth in analytic metaphysics and extensive new scholarship on Indian theories of the self. This fully revised and updated edition incorporates these scholarly developments alongside the author's own evolving thinking, providing a comprehensive dialogue between Eastern and Western philosophical approaches to one of humanity's most fundamental questions about the nature of personal identity and consciousness.
