What is Modern Concepts of Self in Philosophy about?
This document discusses concepts of self from Hinduism and Buddhism that shaped modern ideas. It references passages from Descartes discussing the human mind and nature. It notes there is no single Hindu concept of self and provides quotes from various Hindu and Buddhist scriptures about anatta or no-self. Specifically, it discusses how the strict canonical view of no-self was intended for monks, not laypeople, and how contemporary Sri Lankan understandings of self differ from Buddhist teachings.
