Book: Philosophy's Big Questions: Comparing Buddhist and Western Approaches
Question: DOES REALITY HAVE A GROUND? Madhyamaka and Nonfoundationalism
In this exciting episode of Phil Phails' Philosophy Book Club, Phil and a philosophy professor explore Chapter 3 of "Philosophy's Big Questions: Comparing Buddhist and Western Approaches." They dive into the fascinating chariot analogy, examining the relationship between parts and wholes through Madhyamaka and Nonfoundationalism. Are objects just a collection of parts? Does the whole have a real existence? Watch as Phil grapples with these profound questions and the philosophical implications of identity, reality, and existence.
