by
Georges B. Dreyfus
Jackson Professor of Religion

In this talk Professor Dreyfus will discuss Buddhist theories of consciousness and their relation to views of the self. He will argue that among the many Buddhist views on this topic, the Yogacara tradition offers resources for Buddhist thinkers to elaborate a view of consciousness and the self that treads a middle way between reductionist and Cartesian views of consciousness and the self.

Here is a google earth photo. Walk down Henri Durant Road for 820 meters. The entrance is after you have passed under a foot bridge. Note, there are numerous entrances to various parts of the university, but you need the right one, after the footbridge. Once through the entrance look for the tall building off towards the right. Talk is on the 7th floor.
If entering via taxi it will have to take a roundabout route within the Chulalongkorn compound.
