Quotes by Jay L. Garfield  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“That is, the proponent of the no-self view must show that everything that the self is meant to explain can actually be accomplished by a person, a socially embedded human being with no self. The ātman reemerges in another guise in a Christian context as the psyche, another term usually translated as soul.”

“Self-satisfaction as I contemplate actions of which I am proud might well turn to gratitude towards others and a bit of humility when I recognize that the causes of those actions may lie well outside myself, and gratitude and humility might in the end be more salutary reactions than pride.”

“When we join the community of language users, we tacitly agree to follow the rules for usage of linguistic terms that are enforced by our community. When we learn to reason, we learn to conform to the rules of reasoning respected in our community. When we learn to claim knowledge, we learn to conform to the epistemic norms of our community.”
