What position has been taken about atma in buddhist philosophy?
Answers
In fact,
many scholars of Buddhism hold that the Buddha upheld the
doctrine of anattd or anatmavdda, no soul. As Oldenberg put it,
the Buddhists believed in a becoming and not in a being. In
consequence, it is concluded "In Buddhism there is no actor
apart from action, no percipient apart from perception. In other
words, there is no conscious subject behind consciousness."'
This, in short, leads to action (karma) without a doer (kartd). It
also repudiates the concept of transmigration and rebirth (punarjanma).
To believe in the doctrine of karma without accepting
the concepts ofjiva and its rebirth is evidently perplexing.

Answer:
❤️Early Buddhism
The Nikaya texts of Buddhism deny that there is anything called Ātman that is the substantial absolute or essence of a living being, an idea that distinguishes Buddhism from the Brahmanical (proto-Hindu) traditions. The Buddha argued that no permanent, unchanging "Self" can be found.
