This book incorporates Buddhist philosophy more explicitly into the Western analytic philosophical discussion of free will, both in order to render more perspicuous Buddhist ideas that might shed light on the Western philosophical debate, and in order to render more perspicuous the many possible positions on the free will debate that are available to Buddhist philosophy. The book covers:
Buddhist and Western perspectives on the problem of free will
The puzzle of whether free will is possible if, as Buddhists believe, there is no agent/self
Therav¿da views
Mah¿y¿na views
Evidential considerations from science, meditation, and skepticism
The first book to bring together classical and contemporary perspectives on free will in Buddhist thought, it is of interest to academics working on Buddhist and Western ethics, comparative philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, agency, and personal identity.
