The Identity Problem in Buddhist Ethics: An Examination of Buddhist and Parfitian Conceptions of the Subject (Roger William Farrington, 2007) is a doctoral thesis exploring how Buddhist ideas of no-self (anātman) confront challenges of moral responsibility and personal identity. Comparing Buddhist philosophy with Derek Parfit’s reductionist view of personal identity, the work analyzes tensions between “strong” and “weak” conceptions of the moral subject in karma and rebirth doctrines, proposing ways these views might be reconciled to preserve ethical motivation in Buddhist practice.
