SCRIPTURE, LOGIC, LANGUAGE: Essays on Dharmakirti and his Tibetan Successors

by Tom J. F. Tillemans

Dharmakirti, a sixth-century logician, was one of Indian Buddhism's most influential thinkers. Tillemans presents twelve articles that analyze such topics as deviant logic, subject failure in the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist logical tradition, and the logical and rational limits for the authority of Buddhist scripture.

"Tillemans displays an impressive command of the languages needed for the investigations conducted and a sound knowledge of logic and the philosophy of language. The writing is clear, the Sanskrit and Tibetan terms, are carefully explained, and Sanskrit and Tibetan quotations are accompanied by translations into English. The book as a whole should be of considerable interest to Western philosophers and specialists in Buddhist thought."-- Religious Studies Review
