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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume provides a comprehensive history of the text in India and Tibet from 5th century India to the present day. This team of philologists, historians of religion and philosophers who specialize in Tibetan, Sanskrit and Chinese philosophical literature has produced the first study of the text and its entire commentarial tradition. Their approach makes it possible to employ the methods of critical philology and cross-cultural philosophy to provide readers with a rich collection of studies and translations, along with detailed philosophical analyses that open up the intriguing implications of Dignāga's thought and demonstrate the diversity of commentarial approaches to his text. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe comprehensive nature of the work reveals the richness of commentary in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism and shows surprising parallels between the modern West and traditional Buddhist philosophy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouglas Duckworth\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor in the Department of Religion at Temple University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMalcolm David Eckel \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Professor of Religion and Director of the Institute for Philosophy and Religion at Boston University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJay L.
