BUD 654

Sautrantika Debate (continued)

Faculty: Alison McKee

This intermediate debate course is a continuation in training in formally debating the tenets of the Sautrantika philosophical tradition. Debate topics in this class center around the proof of subtle impermanence —the reason of non-dependency that proves that entities do not rely on another cause for their momentary cessation other than their own dependently arisen appearance. This semester, students will focus on refutations of a truly existent personal self.
