Reading Buddhist philosophy means that I encounter far more discussions of Heidegger than I ever thought I would. I’ll give you Husserl, but Heidegger? Come on...pic.twitter.com/aTvfARlsQV

I did enjoy it, I’m not sure that I’m convinced. But I see the points of resonance with arguments that you’ve been making!

Same here, I enjoyed the paper, like many others by Dan, but I not sure that it is enough to make Nāgārjuna a Pudgalavādin.

1/ I don't think there's any evidence that Nāgārjuna was a Pudgalavādin. Ch 9 of MMK looks like a critique of Pudgalavāda. That's how it's interpreted by Bhāviveka and Candrakīrti.

2/ But I take Dan's point to be that a proper understanding of the conventional self, along the lines argued by Candrakīrti, philosophically leads to Pudgalavāda, or something in the vicinity.

3/ That, combined with Amber Carpenter's reconstruction of a Pudgalavādin response to Abhidharma reductionism, looks philosophically quite attractive, at least to me, and dovetails closely with my arguments in Waking, Dreaming, Being (chap 10).

And with the arguments that you make, from Avery different direction, in Ch3 of Why I’m not a Buddhist. I’m doing a bit of writing on my reply to this stuff (especially given the way that we converge on allostatic regulation) in the part of the book I’m writing now!
