67Deleuze, Spinoza and the Question of Reincarnation in the Mahāyāna TraditionIn Duffy Simon B. (ed.), Deleuze and Buddhism, Palgrave Macmillan. pp. 33-49. 2016.What I aim to develop in this paper is a secular foundation to the concept of reincarnation that is consistent with the different ways in which this concept is understood across a number of Buddhist traditions, drawing in particular upon the doctrinal understanding of reincarnation in the Mahāyāna or Madhyamaka tradition as presented in the work of Śāntideva and Nāgārjuna.

It takes Mackie as the critic of objectivism and it ends by proposing that the best defence of objectivism may be found in what I shall call Kantian intuitionism, which brings together elements of the intuitionism of Ross and a Kantian epistemology.
