Inhaltsangabe

In a revolutionary understanding of action, identity, and part/whole relationships, "The Fractal Self" simultaneously defines and is defined by a complex, interdependent system. Seemingly isolated individuals are not only reflections of, but also intimately reflected in, the natural environment. As demonstrated in the title essay by David Jones and John Culliney, it is a notion that draws heavily upon classical Daoism as well as contemporary Chaos Theory.

Existence, according to the Buddha, is cyclic, impermanent, and filled with suffering. Beings are bound to this cyclic existence so long as they mistake "reflections of objects" for mind. In other words, for as long as beings confuse such reference-points as sensation, perception, and concepts with the mind from which they arise, they are trapped in a dialectics of self and other filled with presuppositions of concrete objectivity and discrete subjectivity.
