PHIL 2280 - Buddhist Philosophy

FDR: Humanities (HU)
Credits: 3

An introduction to Buddhist philosophy. We focus on the philosophical articulation and defense of Buddhism, and reflect on issues in metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and ethics. We see how different philosophical traditions—including Indian, Chinese, and Western—can be mutually informing. We also discuss the relevance of Buddhist philosophy to empirical research and everyday practice.
