This course explores the question of the self from a phenomenological and cross-cultural standpoint. We examine the notion of self as experiential dimension in Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty and consider objections to this concept found in contemporary Buddhist philosophers such as Albahari, Garfield, Dreyfus, and
Siderits. A side-by-side explication of the ideas of each of these thinkers will allow us to explore the question of whether it may be possible to reconcile the core experiential self of phenomenology with a particular ontology of selfless states.. Satisfies the following distribution requirement(s) for Philosophy: Modern.
