“Ethics without Self, Dharma without Atman: Western and Buddhist Philosophical Traditions in Dialogue makes an important contribution to that literature, with a specific focus on the relation between ethics and the metaphysics of selfhood across a range of philosophies. … this volume as a whole constitutes a valuable addition to philosophical exchanges between Western and Buddhist traditions, competently exemplifying how these streams of intellectual endeavour can be brought into productive comparative, and occasionally critical, dialogue.” (Mikel Burley, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, November 12, 2018)
