McClintock, Sara L. - OMNISCIENCE AND THE RHETORIC OF REASON. Santaraksita and Kamalasila on Rationality, Argumentation, and Religious Authority

Title: OMNISCIENCE AND THE RHETORIC OF REASON. Santaraksita and Kamalasila on Rationality, Argumentation, and Religious Authority
Description: Boston, Wisdom Publications, 2010. 1st edition 417 pp. Pb. Serie: Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism. The great Buddhist scholars Santaraksita (725–88 CE.) and his disciple Kamalasila were among the most influential thinkers in classical India. They debated ideas not only within the Buddhist tradition but also with exegetes of other Indian religions, and they both traveled to Tibet during Buddhism’s infancy there. Their views, however, have been notoriously hard to classify. The present volume examines Santaraksita’s Tattvasaá¹Égraha and Kamalasila’s extensive commentary on it, works that cover all conceivable problems in Buddhist thought and portray Buddhism as a supremely rational faith. condition as new
