Buddhist Logic and EpistemologyStudies in the Buddhist Analysis of Inference and Language
Series: Studies of Classical India, Vol. 7
For the first time in recent history, seventeen scholars from allover the world (India, Japan,Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States) collaborated here to producea volume containing an in-depth study of Buddhist log ical theory in the backgroundof Buddhist epistemology. The Tibetan tradition identifies this important chapter in thehistory of Buddhist philosophy as the prama~a school. It owes its origin to the writingsof the great Buddhist master, Dih naga (circa A. D. 480-540), whose influence was tospread far beyond India, as well as to his celebrated interpreter of sev enth century A.D. , Dharmakirti, whose texts presented the standard version of the school for the laterBuddhist and non Buddhist authors for a long time. The history of Buddhist and Indianlogical and epistemo logical theories constitutes an interesting study not only for theBuddhist scholars but also for philosophers as well as historians of philosophy in general.Each author of this anthology combines historical and philological scholarship withphilosophical acumen and linguistic insight. Each of them uses original textual (Tibetanor Sanskirt) material to resolve logical issues and philosophical questions. Attention hasbeen focused upon two crucial philosophical concepts: trairupya (the "triple" character ofevidence) and apoha (meaning as "exclusion"). Broadly the issues are concerned with theproblems of inductive logic and the problem of mean ing and universals.
