| Abstract | This article shows how early buddhism could state that there is no subject behind consciousness. hume speaks of the self as a flow of impressions, and buddhism calls these moments of consciousness "dhammas". also，they analyze these dhammas in a phenomenological method that shows that beyond them no subject exists. further，in the analysis there is a development from unwholesome sensual moments of consciousness to transcendental moments of awareness -- thus suggesting an ethical path for the purification of consciousness. finally，there is a continuity to these existential moments which is pointed to in later buddhism by terms like "emptiness" and "suchness". |
