Friends:
If you think Buddha was a phenomenologist, make explicit the similarities between him and Husserl (or your favorite phenomenologist).

If you think Buddha was an existentialist, which one (or combination of) of these is he most like? Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Sartre, or Camus?

Same routine with empiricism: Locke, Berkeley or Hume?
