KNOWLEDGE AND LIBERATIONby Anne Klein."Anne Klein presents vividly and intimately many concepts essential to a deeper understanding of Buddhist philosophy and for realizing emptiness--the process of naming, positive and negative phenomena, direct perception, and more. I highly recommend this book!"--Prof. Jeffrey Hopkins Buddhist philosophy is concerned with defining and overcoming the limitations and errors of perception. To do this is essential to Buddhism's purpose of establishing a method for attaining liberation. Conceptual thought, in this view, can lead to a liberating understanding, a transformative religious experience. The author discusses the workings of both direct and conceptual cognition, drawing on a variety of Tibetan and Indian texts. The Gelukba interpretation of Dignaga and Dharmakirti is greatly at variance with virtually all other scholarship concerning these seminal Buddhist logicians. The author clarifies these differences, considering both traditional Buddhist and modern scholarship, thus establishing what is unique to the Gelukba presentation and, in this light, examining reasons for the validity of this school's interpretation. "This book is indispensable for anyone desiring a deeper understanding of the fundamental issues in Buddhist philosophy. It is also highly relevant to issues current in modern Western philosophy."--The Indian International Journal of Buddhist Studies 1559391146 | |
