Abstract | This article attempts to reconcile two experiences, two truths, that seem fundamentally opposed to one another and that lie, respectively, at the center of Western culture on the one hand and Buddhist philosophy on the other: the reality of the self and the doctrine of no-self. Buddhism promises a form of spiritual equanimity that turns on the denial of a self. Nonetheless, there seem to be good reasons to hold onto the reality of the self. The existence of a self enables us to account for praise and blame, the hopes for oneself that motivate actions, and attachments to the selves of others in bonds of love and affection. I show how it may be possible to reconcile the reality of the self with a particular interpretation of the no-self doctrine by engaging with the work of thinkers from the phenomenological tradition such as Merleau-Ponty, Zahavi, Kimura, Gallagher, and Petitmengin. |
