I argue for a strong reading of the no-self view as a variety of no-subject or no-ownership view. The Buddhists are not just denying the diachronically unified and extended self but also minimal selfhood insofar as it associated with a sense of ownership and agency.The view is deeply counterintuitive and the Buddhists are acutely aware of this fact. Accordingly, the Abhidharma-Buddhist writings and contemporary reconstructions of the view are replete with attempts to explain the phenomenology of experience in a no-self world. The paper defends the no-ownership view using resources from contemporary discussions about sense (or lack thereof) of ownership.

Tomas Bogardus has proposed the Argument from Symmetry, a specific evolutionary debunking argument motivated by conciliationism about peer disagreement, on which the rational response to a certain sort of disagreement is to give up the disputed belief. According to Bogardus, the Argument should worry proponents of 'Representationalism,' who believe that all of our moral beliefs are formed on the basis of a mental intermediary like sentiment or gut feeling. Supposedly well-positioned to respond to the Argument are proponents of 'Rationalism,' who believe that at least some of our moral beliefs are formed on the basis of a direct apprehension of the moral truth. Bogardus has identified a plausible way of spelling out the evolutionary threat to moral realism, but has misjudged its power: as I will argue, if the Argument succeeds against Representationalism then it succeeds against Rationalism.
