The History of Buddhist Thought c27.39

c27.39

It is as a religion that Buddhism has come into contact with Western thought, and this has been through the Pāli tradition, the Buddhism of Ceylon, Burma, Siam, and Cambodia. It was unfortunate that it was once expounded by scholars who took a pleasure in describing it as agnostic atheism, and who even spoke of "the antinomy of an entity or soul". Not even Kant put the soul into his list of antinomies.
