Best known for his groundbreaking and influential work in Buddhist
philosophy, Mark Siderits is the pioneer of "fusion" or "confluence
philosophy", a boldly systematic approach to doing philosophy
premised on the idea that rational reconstruction of positions in
one tradition in light of another can sometimes help address
perennial problems and often lead to new and valuable insights.
Exemplifying the many virtues of the confluence approach, this
collection of essays covers all core areas of Buddhist philosophy,
as well as topics and disputes in contemporary Western philosophy
relevant to its study. They consider in particular the ways in
which questions concerning personal identity figure in debates
about agency, cognition, causality, ontological foundations,
foundational truths, and moral cultivation. Most of these essays
engage Siderits' work directly, building on his pathbreaking ideas
and interpretations. Many deal with issues that have become a
common staple in philosophical engagements with traditions outside
the West. Their variety and breadth bear testimony to the legacy of
Siderits' impact in shaping the contemporary conversation in
Buddhist philosophy and its reverberations in mainstream
philosophy, giving readers a clear sense of the remarkable scope of
his work.
