Abstract

Doktrina o anatti predstavlja ključni pojam buddhističke filozofije i odnosi se na buddhistički stav da se ni u jednom postojećem fenomenu ne može pronaći nepromjenjivo, trajno sopstvo ili suština. Rad je osmišljen kao jedna zaokružena cjelina koja bi mogla omogućiti lakše razumijevanju ove buddhističke filozofije ostvarene u jednoj potpuno različitoj kulturi, drugačijem vremenu i u vrlo specifičnom duhu. Upravo iz tog razloga u uvodu je dan kratak pregled zapadnjačkih teorija o sopstvu od antičke do novovjekovne filozofije. Potom je prikazan širi kontekst indijske misli i tumačenja indijskog pojma ātmana kroz razne tradicije indijske filozofije.
Ono što stoji u osnovi ovog rada je pretpostavljena intuicija prema kojoj ljudska bića razumiju sebe kao jedinstvene osobe, a upravo se u toj pretpostavci prema Buddhi krije velika zabluda koju je izložio u svojoj doktrini ne-sopstva. Središnji dio rada posvećen je analiziranju ove doktrine na primjerima kanonskih tekstova te objašnjavanju nesporazuma i problema koji se vezuju uz ovo kompleksno učenje. Objašnjeno je kako buddhizam bez takvog entiteta prikazuje osobu i njezin kontinuitet kroz vrijeme, pitanje osobne odgovornosti i problem slobodne volje. Na samom kraju se pažnja ponovno usmjerava i vraća na zapadnu misao prikazom nekih teorija iz suvremenih kognitivnih znanosti koje se vrlo lako mogu povezati s onim što su Buddha i buddhistička tradicija podučavali dva i pol tisućljeća ranije.

Abstract (english)

The doctrine of anatta is a key concept of buddhist philosophy and refers to the buddhist view that no unchanging, permanent self or essence can be found in any existing phenomenon.
This thesis is designed as one complete whole which could allow a better understanding of this East Indian buddhist philosophy, which has been realized in a completely different culture, at a different time and in a very specific spirit. With that aim, the introduction presents a brief overview of Western theories of self from ancient to modern philosophy. Then follows the wider context of Indian thoughts and interpretations of ātman concept through various traditions of Indian philosophy.
What underlies this study is the presumed intuition according to which human beings understand themselves as unique persons. According to the Buddha, it is precisely in this assumption that the great delusion lies, as exposed in his doctrine of non-self. The central part of the thesis is dedicated to analyzing this doctrine on the examples of canonical texts and explaining misunderstandings and problems associated with this complex teaching. It is also explained how Buddhism without such an entity depicts a person and its continuity through time, the question of personal responsibility and the problem of free will. The final part of the thesis brings attention back to the Western thought by presenting some contemporary theories from the cognitive sciences which can easily be related to what the Buddha and Buddhist tradition taught two and a half millennia earlier.
