Sartre's Existentialism and Early Buddhism: A Comparative Study of Selflessness Theories

Both Sartre and the Buddhist agree that there is no instrinsic or permanent self or ego to be found within the body-mind continuum. But what is the outcome of their conclusions? In this book, the autho, Deputy Rector of Mabachulalongkorn Buddhist University in Bangkok, explores the basic positions of Sartrean existentialism and Early (Theravada) Buddhism and weighs up their similarities and differences, providing solid grounds for a clear appraisal of the two.
