PHL 521
Personal Identity East and West
Questions surrounding personal identity or the "self" are central to the philosophical traditions of India and Tibet, the West, and contemporary cognitive scientists. A fruitful cross-cultural dialogue concerning the self, subjectivity, and consciousness is emerging. In this course, we examine some of the basic issues and debates through a close reading of a series of papers from leading philosophical scholars of India and Tibet as well as prominent Western philosophers of mind and phenomenologists.
