[Buddha-l] Thinking causally

[Malcolm Dean]

In a recent response to the debate on authority in Buddhism, I read:
"We have to think causally, because we're looking at processes in
space and time."

May I recommend to everyone Prof. Alicia Juarrero's amazing work
Dynamics in Action (MIT Press). If you have access to MIT's COGNET,
the full text is available for viewing online.

Buddhist thinkers can profit greatly from her investigation of
causality - and no, I won't summarize it here, I want you to be so
curious that you actually read some of it!

Be Well & Happy,
