《金剛經》的「即非」之辯 -- 日本學界對「即非論理」的論考與爭議=The Inspiration of Japanese Debate/Discussion of "The Logic of Immediate Negation" in Vajraccheika-Prajbaparamita-Sutra to Chinese Buddhist Researchers
The proposition, "'A is not not-A, but is named A,' said Tathagatha," is a paradixical phrase. D.T. Suzuki names it "the logic of immediate negation"(1994). He states that it is a kind of special logic in Eat Asia, which means the logic of trans-logic at the meantime. He interprets it as being united with the Zen Buddhism, which has become a famous doctrine in Japan. However, in the five decades since D.T. Suzuki, the Buddhist studies in Japan have reinterpreted the doctrine. H. Taniguchi first criticized Suzuki's opinion in 1991. Then, M.Tachikawa, H.Sueki, Takehashi F, A.Sadakata and others have expressed their ideas one after the other. They sometimes even argued with each other. The arguments, in fact, reflect their diversified thinking. All these discussions are collected in The Ideological Study on Diamond Sutra, edited by Jion Abe in 1999. I think we can understand more about "A is not not-A, but is named A" by studying the discussions these scholars have engaged in. As such, the purpose of this paper is to introduce these Japanese discussions to Chinese Buddhist researchers.
