Schon sehr fruh haben die buddhistischen Denker die Idee eines Selbstes, das uber den korperlichen und emotional-geistigen Konstituenten existiert, zu einem ihrer wichtigsten Angriffsziele gemacht. Ihre Kritik gipfelt zunachst in Vasubandhus Abhandlung gegen die buddhistischen Personalisten (fruhes 5. Jh. u. Z.). Santarak'ita und Kamalasila, Philosophen des 8. Jahrhunderts, stellen einen weiteren Meilenstein in der Geschichte der Kritik an einem Selbst und einer Person dar: Ihre Tattvasa'graha(panjika) enthalt die gelehrteste und umfangreichste Darstellung des Themas (wenigstens vor den Nairatmyasiddhi-Monographien von Kar'akagomin und Sa'karanandana). Was aber haben Dignaga und Dharmakirti (6. Jh. u. Z.') zu dieser hitzigen Debatte beigetragen? Die vorgelegte Studie versucht diese Frage wenigstens teilweise zu beantworten und bietet eine Darlegung von Dharmakirtis Stellungnahme zu einem Selbst. Die Einleitung stellt seine Ansicht von einem Selbst als dem Kern des Nichtwissens dar. Kapitel 1 widmet sich Dharmakirtis Kritik der beiden wesentlichen Auspragungen des buddhistischen Substantialismus, der Lehre von einer Buddha-Natur und der Lehre von einer Person (pudgalavada). Kapitel 2 stellt seine Methode der Entkraftigung der nicht-buddhistischen Argumente fur ein Selbst dar. Kapitel 3 bietet zum Abschluss eine eingehende Darstellung von Dharmakirtis wichtigstem eigenem Beitrag zum Thema, seinem Nachweis, dass (der Glaube an) die Existenz eines Selbstes eine Erlosung unmoglich macht.

This is the first comparative study of the self and no-self in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. In spite of doctrinal differences within these three belief systems, they agree that human beings are in a predicament from which they need to be liberated. Indian religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism, share the belief that human nature is inherently perfectible, while the epistemological and psychological limitation of the human being is integral to Christian belief. Regarding the immortality of the human being, Hinduism and Christianity traditionally and generally agree that human beings, as atman or soul, possess intrinsic immortality. On the contrary, Buddhism teaches the doctrine of no-self (anatta). Further, in their quest to analyze the human predicament and attempt a way out of it, they employ different concepts, such as sin and salvation in Christianity, attachment (tanka) and enlightenment (nirvana) in Buddhism, and ignorance (avidya) and liberation (moksa) in Hinduism. This volume seeks to show that that behind these concepts are deep concerns related to human existence and its relationship with the whole creation. These common concerns can be a basis for a greater understanding and dialogue between Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists.

This eagerly awaited book by David F. Ford makes a unique and important contribution to the debate about the Christian doctrine of salvation. Using the pivotal image of the face, Professor Ford offers a constructive and contemporary account of the self being transformed. He engages with three modern thinkers (Levinas, Jüngel and Ricoeur) in order to rethink and reimagine the meaning of self. Developing the concept of a worshipping self, he explores the dimensions of salvation through the lenses of scripture, worship practices, the life, death and resurrection of Christ, and the lives of contemporary saints. He uses different genres and traditions to show how the self flourishes through engagement with God, other people, and the responsibilities and joys of ordinary living. The result is a habitable theology of salvation immersed in Christian faith, thought and practice while also being deeply involved with modern life in a pluralist world.

We go through life, focusing our attention on many things. But how much do we focus on ourselves? We may be aware of many things, but are we self-aware? This is a question our contemporary culture asks us to consider more and more, and words like "self-awareness," "personal identity," "authenticity," and "mindfulness" are becoming not just buzz-words but virtues. The ancient dictum "know thyself" reverberates in all corners of our lives, from Disney characters on our TVs to DISC profiles at our workplaces. Some of the more mindful members of our society may even be tempted to disdain those who are not as mindful as they are. But what if our self-aware culture, hailing us to pursue our true selves, is unaware of itself? What if our definitions of true and false self-understanding are myopic, slanted towards a narrow solipsism that is actually leading people away from authenticity, while all the while championing it? If so, how would we know? Who is best able to define these things and to teach us how to know ourselves truly? Matthew Brett Vaden traces the wisdom of past and modern-day sages to discover how we can truly discover ourselves.

The Self Delusion falsely convinces us that we are a separate being, an individual personal entity, ego or distinct self. If we can break through your egoistic way of viewing the world and go beyond our mere intellectual understanding to bridge the gap between the ordinary distinction we make between ourselves as a "knower" of a world on the one hand and a world which is "known" on the other then we can find our way to the underlying truth that all religions hold in common. This requires that we be willing to give up our attachment to words and ideas that have less meaning in them than we think they do. Only then can we see through to the thing itself, the divine nature of the Universe, which is hidden by the Self Delusion. You can experience this for yourself simply by "seeing" through the foolish idea that you are a separate being, an individual personal entity, ego or distinct self.

Within the traditional framework, the Christian notion of loss-of-self is generally regarded as the transformation or loss of the ego (lower self) as it attains to the higher or true self in its union with God. Thus, because self at its deepest center is a run-on with the divine, I had never found any true self apart from God, for to find the One is to find the other. Because this was the limit of my expectations, I was all the more surprised and bewildered when many years later I came upon a permanent state in which there was no self, no higher self, true self, or anything that could be called a self. Clearly, I had fallen outside my own, as well as the traditional frame of reference, when I came upon a path that seemed to begin where the writers on the contemplative life had left off. But with the clear certitude of the self's disappearance, there automatically arose the question of what had fallen away--what was the self? What, exactly, had it been? Then too, there was the all-important question: what remained in its absence? This journey was the gradual revelation of the answers to these questions, answers that had to be derived solely from personal experience since no outside explanation was forthcoming.

In a spirit of sanctified humor, this satire skewers the error of the easy-believe gospel and defends the biblical truth that Christians will be changed by the Holy Spirit that indwells and empowers them. Take a rough-n-tumble journey with Peregrinus (Latin for pilgrim) as he, with the help of his mentor Plowman, battles with the errors thrown at him by the likes of such characters as Willy "Rush" Forward, Strawberry Nostrum, Reverend Quacksalver, and Jumping Jack Hallelujah.
