Abstract Indian Buddhist philosophers uniformly rejected physicalism, the view that everything is physical in nature, in favor of either a dualist or an idealist ontology. This work explores the question of whether this stance can be justified in light of our current understanding of the natural world and our place in it. Might physicalism be compatible with Buddhism? It explores the...

Buddhist Physicalism? August 5, 2025 Mark Siderits
Abstract This chapter addresses the “hard problem” of phenomenal consciousness that confronts any form of physicalism.

This study examined how HHC is processed in the body, its toxicity, and its impact on behavior in male...
