Abstract

My aim in this paper is to chart what I see as parallels between the ontology of self in Charles Taylor's work and that of various Buddhist "no-self" views, along with parallels between Taylor's commitment to reviving republican ideas (in a "communitarian" form) and some aspects of Buddhist ethics.
