2018Buddhism has been criticized for espousing detachment from others, but though Buddhism promotes nonattachment, it does not state whether its practices actually undermine the ability to be in relationship with others. Buddhism has also been criticized for promoting nihilism, yet it has not been well understood how teachings on no self actually promote ...

1990
These remarks might initially strike one as hopelessly obscure. How, one might ask, can there be an action without there being someone who performs it? Similarly, the suggestion that the person just is the ‘successive perceptions’ — the denial that the person is something that has the perceptions and so is quite distinct from them — is not easy to ...

International Reviews of Immunology, 2001Twenty years ago, antigenic and self peptides presented by MHC molecules were absent from the immunological scene. While foreign peptides could be assayed by immune reactions, self peptides, as elusive and invisible as they were at the time, were bound to have an immunological role.

Synthese, 1997I argue that indirect quotation in the first person simple present tense (“self-quotation”) provides a class of infallible assertions.
