The nature and reality of self is a subject of increasing prominence
among Western philosophers of mind and cognitive scientists. It has
also been central to Indian and Tibetan philosophical traditions for
over two thousand years. It is time to bring the rich resources of
these traditions into the contemporary debate about the nature of
self. This volume is the first of its kind. Leading philosophical
scholars of the Indian and Tibetan traditions join with leading
Western philosophers of mind and phenomenologists to explore issues
about consciousness and selfhood from these multiple perspectives.
Self, No Self? is not a collection of historical or comparative
essays. It takes problem-solving and conceptual and phenomenological
analysis as central to philosophy. The essays mobilize the
argumentative resources of diverse philosophical traditions to address
issues about the self in the context of contemporary philosophy and
cognitive science. Self, No Self? will be essential reading for
philosophers and cognitive scientists interested in the nature of the
self and consciousness, and will offer a valuable way into the subject
for students.
