Following Hume and James, such philosophers have denied the self existence by treating as illusory its supposed unity and unbroken persistence. These qualities are deemed mere fictions, borne from imagination and acting upon a bundle of discrete thoughts, feelings and perceptions. In this book, Miri Albahari also denies existence to the self, but with a new twist: unity and unbrokenness are argued to be real qualities native to consciousness. Consciousness merges with desire-driven thought and emotion to create the impression of a separate and unified self; separateness, not unity, makes the self illusory. Albahari draws this 'two-tiered' model of the self-illusion from Canonical sources in Theravada Buddhist literature, augmenting it with research from neurologist Antonio Damasio. Since scholars usually ascribe a 'bundle theory' of no-self to Buddhism, Albahari offers a fresh perspective on this central Buddhist 'no-self' concept."--Jacket. 000718221 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000718221 650_0 $$aSelf$$xReligious aspects$$xBuddhism. 000718221 650_0 $$aAnātman. 000718221 650_0 $$aNirvana. 000718221 650_0 $$aBuddhism$$xDoctrines. 000718221 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAlbahari, Miri, 1968-$$tAnalytical Buddhism.$$dBasingstoke [England] ; New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2006$$z9780230007123$$w(DLC) 2006047483$$w(OCoLC)69680188 000718221 8520_ $$bacq 000718221 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000718221 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=358595$$zOnline Access 000718221 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718221$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718221 980__ $$aEBOOK 000718221 980__ $$aBIB 000718221 982__ $$aEbook 000718221 983__ $$aOnline
