Description
Book SynopsisSelfless Minds is a contribution to cross-cultural philosophy that studies the nature of selfless minds from a place at the crossroads of different traditions and disciplines: philosophy in the traditional Buddhist and contemporary Western traditions, and contemporary cognitive sciences.
Trade ReviewMonima Chadha has given the world of Anglophone philosophy more reason to take Indian Buddhist philosophy seriously in this closely argued study of the philosophy of the 4th century philosopher Vasubandhu ...this is a rich and rewarding book. I recommend it to those interested in how Indian Buddhist philosophy and contemporary philosophy of mind can be brought together in philosophical conversation, and that should be anyone in our profession. * Jay Garfield, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
