Title: Monima Chadha (Monash)
No-Self and the Phenomenology of Ownership

Abhidharma-Buddhist philosophers put forward a revisionary metaphysics  
which lacks a “self” in order to provide an intellectually and morally  
preferred picture of the world. 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.
