Reverberations of Dharmakirti's Philosophy: Proceedings of the Fifth International Dharmakirti Conference Heidelberg, August 26 to 30, 2014 (Philosophisch-Historische Klasse Sitzungsberichte, 904)

Description

Die "Proceedings of the Fifth International Dharmakirti Conference" (Heidelberg, August 2014) beschaftigen sich mit der erkenntnistheoretisch-logischen Schule des Buddhismus - einer lange wahrenden Tradition, die innerhalb des heilstheoretischen Rahmens des Buddhismus die Analyse von Erkenntnis, Schlussfolgerung und Beweis in das Zentrum ihrer theoretischen Bemuhungen stellte und dabei das Werk des indisch-buddhistischen Erkenntnistheoretikers und Logikers Dharmakirti (6.-7. Jhd. u. Z.) zugrundelegte. Methoden und Ansatze dieser Schule wurden durch das intellektuelle Umfeld des mittelalterlichen Indien mit seiner Wechselwirkung unterschiedlicher religios-philosophischer Stromungen gepragt und beeinflussten die Geistesgeschichte des tibetischen Buddhismus nachhaltig; sie wurden auch in China und Japan rezipiert. Die 30 Beitrage zu diesem Band stellen eine Momentaufnahme einer internationalen Forschungslandschaft mit Zentren in Wien und Japan dar. Sie befassen sich mit historischen und philologischen Problemen, die durch wichtige rezente Manuskriptfunde aufgeworfen werden, verfolgen Forschungsfragen aus der Geschichte der Philosophie und unternehmen philosophische Rekonstruktion und kritische Uberprufung einzelner Theorien und Argumente. Indem der Band den Schwerpunkt auf Stromungen aus Asien richtet, die rigorose philosophische Methoden entwickelten und systematisch zur Anwendung brachten, leistet er einen Beitrag zur Ausbildung eines besser fundierten globalen Geschichtsbewusstseins im Bereich der Philosophie. The proceedings volume of the Fifth International Dharmakirti Conference (Heidelberg, August 2014) is concerned with the logico-epistemological school of Buddhism ? a long-lasting tradition that pursued the analysis of knowledge, inference and proof within a Buddhist soteriological framework, based on the works of the Indian epistemologist and logician Dharmakirti (6th-7th c. CE). Having been shaped in the environment of medieval India, with its multiple mutually interacting and partly competing religio-philosophical schools, the methods and approaches of Buddhist logic and epistemology had lasting impact on the intellectual history of Tibetan Buddhism and were also received in China and Japan. The 30 papers in this volume offer a snapshot of an international research landscape with centers in Vienna and Japan. They address historical and philological problems raised by important recent manuscript discoveries, pursue specific research questions in the history of philosophy, and undertake philosophical reconstructions and critical examinations relating to individual theories and arguments. By focusing on currents in Asia that developed and applied rigorous philosophical methods, the volume aims to contribute to the formation of a better-founded global historical awareness in the field of philosophy.
