The Problem With the Atma Vadhyaya Theory of Action
Mimansa argues that there is in fact an agent or we might say a self who is the one performing the action. The whole idea of Carmen which is one of these ideas which are shot by almost everyone in philosophy wouldn't work unless they were an agent. Kamala argues against that saying that this sort of changeless self doesn't really help us. It's very much akin to the Buddhist self insofar as it is of no use for explaining the way the word works.
