Aug 3, 2005: <\/span>Kantian and Buddhist Ethics, thinking out loud<\/a>: An outline (for my MA):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Why Kant \u2013 Deontology? Beware the pitfalls of comparative philosophy\/ethics.<\/li>\n
  2. Keown\u2019s understanding of Buddhist Ethics (Aristotelian)<\/li>\n
  3. Kant vs Aristotle<\/li>\n
  4. Kant\u2019s Ethics<\/li>\n
      \n
    1. Feelings\/Respect \u2014 Freedom\/Autonomy \u2014 Duty <\/li>\n
    2. Politics\/Self-Development \u2014 Result: Kingdom of Ends<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    3. Buddhism as Kantian<\/li>\n
        \n
      1. Buddhism and Reason<\/li>\n
      2. Buddhism and Freedom\/Autonomy\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

        Sept 25, 2005:<\/span> Kant\/Buddhism on the Good Life<\/a>: review of current Buddhological attitudes (Buddhism is Aristotelian) and an attempt to show the non-teleological nature of Buddhist soteriology. Likewise for Kant, a clear deontologist with we\u2019ll say pragmatic<\/span> overatures toward a virtue-ethics. <\/p>\n

        For both Kant and Buddhism, their is a process given\/prescribed to take the individual away from egotistical life: the ever pressing desires and inclinations, and toward altruistic morality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        Kant\u2019s three steps \u2013 think for yourself<\/span>, listen, and be consistent. And Buddhism\u2019s Kalama Sutta<\/span><\/a>. Knowing for oneself \u2013 the emphasis on just giving<\/span>, living \u201cfully in and through the dharma<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Jan 31, 2008<\/span>: In Search of Buddhist Ethics<\/a>: Working with Howard on Kant, away from his empty formulas. Buddhism too has its seemingly empty concepts such as non-self (anatt\u0101<\/i>) and dhamma, <\/span>but in practice these are tied to real moral practices and cultivations (as they are in Kant).<\/p>\n

        April 15, 2008<\/span>: More Karma<\/a>: \u2026 need sleep\u2026 will come back\u2026<\/p>\n
