While this Group entertains individual paper proposals, we mostly encourage thematically integrated sessions. These might focus on specific philosophical topics, on methodological issues, or on a recent publication in the field or a classical text of particular importance. Panels representing a diversity of methods to address a regionally defined topic are also encouraged. Potential topics raised by group members include: 1) The ontological and/or axiomatic status of the first Noble Truth; 2) Buddhist philosophy of the emotions; 3) Buddhist notions of habits, habituation, and habitus; 4) Meditation and philosophy of mind; 5) Buddhist reflections on the status of metaphors; 6) Buddhist reflections on the place of the body and/or intersubjectivity in Buddhist philosophy; 7) Buddhist reflections on Parimal G. Patil's Against a Hindu God: Buddhist Philosophy of Religion in India (Columbia University Press, 2009); 8) Buddhist reflections on the nature and character of Buddhist sastra (as genre, practice, etc.); and 9) Buddhist reflections on svasamvitti. Those interested in any of these topics should contact the chairs for information on other members intending to develop proposals on the same topic.
