A Philosophical Defence of the Doctrine of Karma

· Lecture · 16m· Jul 2023

In a solo opener to a video series, Arjuna Gallagher lays out the Gaudiya Vaishnava conception of karma, drawing on Akshay Gupta's doctoral work, as a reformative rather than punitive mechanism that shapes desires across lifetimes via samskaras, and pre-empts the fatalism, victim-blaming, and memory objections he will answer for Christian critics in later videos.
