Description
Description
The present work consists of an analytical study and critique of certain
aspects of Buddhist tradition as they bear upon some central problems of
logic and ontology. The author examines the logical, epistemological and
ontological doctrines of Dignaga, Dharmakirti and Ratnakirti on the one
hand and of W.V. Quine on the other. She agrees with Quine that a sharp
line of demarcation between analytic and synthetic statements is untenable
and she argues that a position similar to Quine's obtains in the writings
of the Buddhist logicians. She provides convincing arguments to the effect
that the Buddhist logicians' rejection of substance ontology leads to the
rejection of any claim to the ultimacy of the analytical-synthetic
distinction.
Divided into seven chapters and documented with Preface, Bibliography and
General Index, this work is a rare contribution in the field of Comparative
Philosophy.
