A Lecture on Indian Thought
The Foundations of Buddhist Teaching and their Philosophical Implications
Dr Miri Albahari is a Philosophy Lecturer at the University of Western Australia and is the author of Analytical Buddhism: The Two-Tiered Illusion of Self. The book was converted from a Ph.D thesis that was supervised by John A. Baker at the University of Calgary. Miri teaches comparative philosophy and is building a novel consciousness-based metaphysical system for what Aldous Huxley referred to as 鈥榯he Perennial Philosophy鈥�. Albahari鈥檚 ideas on this theme have been published in journals such as Philosophers鈥� Imprint and Journal of Consciousness Studies and in The Routledge Handbook of Panpsychism. She is married to David Godman, a leading author on the renowned South Indian sage Ramana Maharshi whose teachings exemplify the Perennial Philosophy.
