Anatta was indeed the central philosophy of early, authentic buddhism. But is was not fully understood and rapidly compromised and corrupted. Its recovery, preservation and further exposition and development is found nevertheless in various schools of the East and West, both ancient (and even pre-buddhist) and modern.
We hold that Anatta is the essence and culmination of TPC and TPP. Although in this blog we have discussed and highlighted the importance of Pyrrho, Hume, Nagarjuna - and a certain approach to Hegel, we shall make no attempt to articulate it further at the moment.
Rather we shall more modestly focus on developing certain Kantian themes which even in the light of the above can be considered as having a practical humanly wholesome role.
