520 |a Buddhist meditation seems to involve giving attention to one's thoughts and feelings, to one's ‘inner world'. In this article I explore what is involved in such talk of one's inner world, with special reference to Wittgenstein's claim that ‘the inner' is a delusion. The article explores the nature of thoughts and feelings, and suggests that we cannot fully understand what is involved in meditation without some consideration of its ethical and religious context. I conclude with some reflections on how the pictures we naturally employ in thinking about meditation can lead us into a misleading metaphysical view of ‘the inner'.
