Hume and Buddhism

The book offers a comparative analysis of David Hume and two prominent Buddhist figures, Buddhaghosa and Nagarjuna, focusing on their views of personal identity and skepticism. It delves into Hume's assertion that the self is merely a collection of perceptions and contrasts this with Buddhaghosa's perspective. The text also addresses the complexities of comparing Western philosophy with Eastern thought and explores Hume's moral sentiments alongside the role of Buddhist meditation in supporting Hume's ideas.
