- W112489052 abstract "This thesis discusses the Vaiśeṣika philosopher Praśastapāda’s conception of self in histext, the Padārthadharmasaṃgraha, and its key commentaries. It examines thearguments these texts propose for the existence of a self that is non-physical and yetnon-Cartesian, based in a paradigm I term ‘differential naturalism’. I examinePraśastapāda’s four arguments for the existence of a self from: the structures of agencyand action in human cognition; in intentional mental and bodily acts; in the homeostaticregulation of the human body; and in the biological life of the human organism. Thecore thesis, I argue, is that the rational structures of agency and action we find in theseactivities require a conscious owner. This must be a self.The dualist argument for the self’s non-physical nature emerges from adichotomous ontology of mental and physical properties and causal powers, whichentails that only a non-physical substance can be a bearer of the normative andintentional structures that agency and mental causation demand. The minded self is,however, necessarily embodied.Praśastapāda, I suggest, postulates a naturalistic conception of self. Such a selfenables the integration of the mental, moral and physical realms as aspects of naturalorder, for self is the bearer not only of psychological, vital and normative powers in thenatural world, but of natural law qua moral law. This integrative, yet differential,naturalism provides an innovative alternative to Western and classical Indian physicalistand dualist perspectives." @default.
