Since the publication of Mark Siderits' important book in 2003,
much has changed in the field of Buddhist philosophy. There has
been unprecedented growth in analytic metaphysics, and a
considerable amount of new work on Indian theories of the self and
personal identity has emerged. Fully revised and updated, and
drawing on these changes as well as on developments in the author's
own thinking, Personal Identity and Buddhist Philosophy, second
edition explores the conversation between Buddhist and Western
Philosophy showing how concepts and tools drawn from one
philosophical tradition can help solve problems arising in another.
Siderits discusses afresh areas involved in the philosophical
investigation of persons, including vagueness and its implications
for personal identity, recent attempts by scholars of Buddhist
philosophy to defend the attribution of an emergentist account of
personhood to at least some Buddhists, and whether a distinctively
Buddhist antirealism can avoid problems that beset other forms of
ontological anti-foundationalism.
