Routledge Personal Identity and Buddhist Philosophy - 2nd Edition

Explore the deep connection between Buddhist and Western thought with the second edition of Personal Identity and Buddhist Philosophy. This revised work by Mark Siderits addresses the significant shifts in the field of Buddhist philosophy since its original 2003 publication. As analytic metaphysics has grown, new research regarding Indian theories of the self and personal identity has emerged. This updated edition incorporates these recent developments along with the author's latest philosophical thinking. Readers will find a thorough examination of how concepts and tools from different traditions can be used to understand the nature of the self. Whether you are a student of religion or a scholar of metaphysics, this book provides a modern perspective on the conversation between these two major philosophical branches. It serves as an essential resource for understanding how contemporary analytic methods can be applied to ancient Buddhist concepts of personhood.
