Title: BUDDHIST LOGIC AND EPISTEMOLOGY. Studies in the Buddhist Analysis of Inference and Language
Description: Dordrecht BostonTokyo, D Reidel Pub Co. 1986. 1st edition 303 pp. cloth / linen with dustjacket. Studies of Classical India volume 7. For the first time seventeen scholars from allover the world (India, Japan, Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States) collaborated here to produce a volume containing an in-depth study of Buddhist logical theory in the background of Buddhist epistemology. Each author of this anthology combines historical and philological scholarship with philosophical acumen and linguistic insight. Each of them uses original textual (Tibetan or Sanskirt) material to resolve logical issues and philosophical questions. Attention has been focused upon two crucial philosophical concepts: trairupya (the triple character of evidence) and apoha (meaning as exclusion). Dustjacket and edges slightly yellowed, otherwise very nice copy.
