#282 — Do You Really Have a Self?

Sam Harris speaks with Jay Garfield about the illusion of the
self. They discuss the default sense of subjectivity, the
difference between absolute and conventional truth,
interdependence, free will, subject-object duality, emptiness,
the “mind-only” school of Buddhism, scientific realism and
experiential anti-realism, and other topics.
