Dialogues between Vasubandhu’s No-Self View and Sidgwick’s Universal Benevolence | Chapter 3 | Recent Research Advances in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

 Vasubandhu specifies one of ultimate influential and detailed Buddhist debates to suggest that self or personhood is a insane construct, though the form of arguments deserves further rebuilding and clarification. According to Parfit, the conflict middle from two points morality and egoism is what prevents moral ventures from succeeding in real life. Sidgwick's unfriendly ethics are individual way to accommodate this contradiction. In this essay, Sidgwick's maxim of generosity is examined, in addition to its latent premise—the reachability of the universal point of view. Then, in reaction to two personalistic arguments, this paper reconstructs Vasubandhu's no-self view in Abhidharmakoa and draws the decision that individuals can undertake impersonal ethics if they are favorable in dispelling their sense of self through Yogcar's contemplation.ct. This paper identifies the combative structure of Vasubandhu’s no-self report through philosophical reconstruction and supports a comparative view to resolve the self-interest crisis by justifying the implicit premise of Sidgwick’s unfriendly ethics. Overall, this paper attempts to present no-self view in Buddhism to analytic knowledge since dialogue 'tween East and West will enrich the views and methods of current reflective community. Buddhist tradition and allure philosophical treasures are huge treasures for academia and merit further recognition.
