The Buddhist no-self and no-person revisionary metaphysics aims to produce a better structure that is motivated by the normative goal of eliminating, or at least reducing, suffering. The revised structure, in turn, entails a major reconsideration of our ordinary everyday person-related concerns and practices and interpersonal attitudes, such as moral responsibility, praise and blame, compensation, and social treatment. This essay explores the extent to which we must alter and perhaps discard some of our practical commitments in light of the Buddhist revisionism. I do not argue here that we should change our ordinary practices, concerns, and attitudes, or that the Buddhist metaphysics does succeed in presenting a better structure. Rather, I offer it as an alternative structure that should be considered seriously.

消除自我和人

佛教无我无人修正形而上学旨在产生一种更好的结构,其动机是消除或至少减少痛苦的规范目标。反过来,修订后的结构需要对我们日常与人相关的关注和实践以及人际态度进行重大重新考虑,例如道德责任、赞扬和责备、补偿和社会待遇。本文探讨在佛教修正主义的背景下,我们必须在多大程度上改变甚至放弃我们的一些实际承诺。我在这里并不是说我们应该改变我们的日常实践、关注和态度,或者佛教形而上学确实成功地提出了一个更好的结构。相反,我将它作为一种应认真考虑的替代结构提供。
