Peerenboom, R. P.  "Buddhist Process Ethics: Dissolving the Dilemmas of Substantialist Metaphysics."  Indian Philosophical Quarterly 16 (July 1989): 247-68.

Abstract:

Buddhist process ontology, together with the corollary notions of non-egoity, momentariness and conditioned origination, challenge fundamental ethical assumptions in regard to the nature of the self as an ethical agent, to moral autonomy and, consequently, to the possibility and justifiability of assigning moral responsibility.  Understanding the ethical agent not as an atomistic individual but as a person-in-a-social-and-natural-context who both conditions and is conditioned by his or her constituting relationships militates against a dualistic, either-or reading of freedom and determinism, and diffuses ethical responsibility over the whole community.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
