(022) Phil Phails @ Philosophy Book Club with Grant Potts • Episode 4 • Book: Philosophy's Big Questions: Comparing Buddhist and Western Approaches • Question: Retrospective • In this thought-provoking episode, Phil Jones and Grant Potts delve into the 'hard problem' of consciousness, a concept that seems simple yet is incredibly difficult to grasp. They explore the works of three intricate Buddhist philosophers—Dharmakirti, Vasubandhu, and Dignaga—whose complex arguments challenge even seasoned scholars. Despite their importance in Buddhist thought, these philosophers remain relatively obscure in popular Western Buddhism, making this discussion a deep dive into lesser-known intellectual territory. • Hashtags: • #PhilFails #Philosophy #Consciousness #BuddhistPhilosophy #Dharmakirti #Vasubandhu #Dignaga #PhilosophyBookClub #DeepThoughts • About Grant Potts • Grant Potts is a distinguished faculty member at Austin Community College, specializing in Philosophy, Religion, and Humanities.
