Descartes’ and the Buddha’s arguments
Tx = x thinks
d = Descartes
- Td
- \exists x(Tx \wedge x = d)
or
- \forall x(Tx \to \exists y (y = x))
- Td \to \exists y (y = d)
- Td
- \exists y (y = d)
Dx = x is dependently originated
- \forall x(Dx \to \neg \exists y(y = x))
- Dd \to \neg \exists y (y = d)
- Dd
- \neg \exists y(y = d)
I’d also like some help regarding the heretical teachers Sanjaya Belathiputta, Ajita Kesakambali, Pakudah Kaccayana vis-a-vis Buddha’s anatta and Descartes’ cogito.
