The sense of self seems to be a fundamental core of many everyday experiences. From perceiving to remembering, from deciding to desiring, it seems that there is an “I” who does this. But what if there is no such thing as a self? Indeed, what if even our sense of self is an illusion? This course examines the metaphysics and consequences of such a no self thesis by engaging in an in-depth reading of Monima Chadha’s recent book exploring Vasubandhu's metaphysical doctrine of radical selflessness. The radical no-self thesis presents several challenges for Abhidharma Buddhist philosophy of mind. If the sense of self is an illusion, how do we make sense of the way in which the self appears to us in in our ordinary everyday experience and thought about the world and ourselves. Further, if we grant that there are no persons, what remains of the status of our person-related concerns and interpersonal practices, including moral practices. In this course, we examine answers to these questions and see if the Abhidharma Buddhist has an answer to them.
