Follow-up to “Buddhism Is Wrong”

People have asked me to write more on the topic of our thoughts.

Your experiences plus your thoughts construct You. (art by author)

My article dissecting a claim that all thoughts are illusions, quickly became a big hit. Many people want to delve into the topics of who we are and how we perceive the world. They are very important topics and important to talk about honestly, without cliches or gimmicks. I enjoy sharing what other philosophers have said on these topics, building on good ideas and dissecting bad ones.

I promise I will write more on these topics but the next two weeks I am busy with the beginning of term at my university. What I can do for now is give you a list of articles in which I have previously touched on these topics.

I’ve discussed Buddhist philosophy twice before, discussing what the concept of emptiness means (BTW, the boxes are links to other articles that you can click on to read),
