书名: Analytical Buddhism: The Two-tiered Illusion of Self
作者: Miri Albahari (Author)
出版社: Palgrave Macmillan (January 9, 2007)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0230007120
ISBN-13: 978-0230007123
Book Description
We spend our lives protecting an elusive self - but does the self actually exist? Drawing on literature from Western philosophy, neuroscience and Buddhism (interpreted), the author argues that there is no self. The self - as unified owner and thinker of thoughts - is an illusion created by two tiers. A tier of naturally unified consciousness (notably absent in standard bundle-theory accounts) merges with a tier of desire-driven thoughts and emotions to yield the impression of a self. So while the self, if real, would think up the thoughts, the thoughts, in reality, think up the self.
