The Imperfect Reality of Persons
In Christian Coseru, Reasons and Empty Persons: Mind, Metaphysics, and Morality: Essays in Honor of Mark Siderits. Cham: Springer. pp. 87-104 (2023)
Abstract
In this chapter, my interest is primarily in the thought of the great Ābhidhārmika Buddhist intellectual Vasubandhu (c. 360 CE), author of the compendious Abhidharmakośabhāṣya. He has famously been described by Mark Siderits as a reductionist about the self, influenced by the seminal work of Derek Parfit. What I will argue is that the identification needs to be handled with care.Author's Profile
