Publisher's Synopsis
Buddhist Logic V2 is a comprehensive book on the subject of Buddhist logic, written by the renowned scholar F. Th. Stcherbatsky. The book is divided into two volumes, with the second volume covering topics such as the nature of inference, the theory of syllogism, and the relationship between logic and language in Buddhist thought. Stcherbatsky draws on a wide range of sources, including Buddhist texts in Sanskrit, Pali, and Tibetan, as well as commentaries by Indian and Tibetan scholars. He provides detailed analyses of key concepts such as pramana (valid cognition), hetu (reason), and drstanta (example), and explores the ways in which Buddhist logic differs from Western logic. The book is aimed at scholars of Buddhist philosophy and logic, but is also accessible to general readers with an interest in these subjects. It is widely regarded as a classic work in the field, and remains an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Buddhist thought.1930. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766176843. Volume 2 of 2. This work claims the consideration of the historian of the culture of Asia, of the Sanskrit philologist and of the general philosopher. It is the last of a series of three works destined to elucidate what is perhaps the most powerful movement of ideas in the history of Asia, a movement which, originating in the 6th century BC in the valley of Hindustan, gradually extended its sway over almost the whole of the continent of Asia, as well as over the islands of Japan and of the Indian archipelago. These works are thus concerned about the history of the ruling ideas of Asia, Central and Eastern.
