Buddhist Perspectives on Free Will (eBook, ePUB)

Agentless Agency?
Redaktion: Repetti, Rick

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book incorporates Buddhist philosophy more explicitly into the Western analytic philosophical discussion of free will, both in order to render more perspicuous Buddhist ideas that might shed light on the Western philosophical debate, and to render more perspicuous the many possible positions on the free will debate that are available to Buddhist philosophy. This book is of interest to academics working on Buddhist and Western ethics, comparative philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, agency, and personal identity.
