Exploring the philosophical concerns of the nature of self, this
book draws from two of the most influential Indian masters, Sankara
and Santideva. Todd demonstrates that an ethics of altruism is
still possible within a metaphysics which assumes there to be no
independent self. A new ethical model based on the notions of
'flickering consciousness' and 'constructive altruism' is proposed.
By comparing the metaphysics and ethics of Sankara and Santideva,
Todd shows that the methodologies and aims of these Buddhist and
Hindu masters trace remarkably similar cross-cutting paths.
Treating Buddhism and Hinduism with equal respect, this book
compares and reinterprets the Indian material so as to engage with
contemporary Western debates on self and to show that Indian
philosophy is indeed a philosophy of dialogue.
