No-self and identity in Buddhist thought: Foundations: Ground yourself in the central Buddhist claim that what we call the self is neither permanent nor unified. You'll examine the philosophical architecture behind anatta, the doctrine of non-self, and how it fundamentally reframes what identity means.

Examine the Buddhist doctrine of non-self and discover how anatta fundamentally challenges your understanding of identity, ego, and what it means to be.
