Dignaga's Investigation of the Percept: A Philosophical Legacy in India and Tibet

by Douglas Duckworth and Malcolm David Eckel

Book Overview

While a short work of only eight verses and a three-page autocommentary, the Investigation of the Percept has inspired epistemologists for centuries and has had a wide-ranging impact in India, Tibet, and China. Dignaga, one of the major figures in Buddhist epistemology, explores issues such as the relation between the mind and its percepts, the problems of idealism and realism, and the nature of intentionality in this brief but profound text.
