| Abstract | Eleventh-century Buddhist philosopher Ratnakīrti has garnered increasing
scholarly interest over the past two decades. The conciseness and logical
precision of his work, which encapsulates arguments from the lengthier works
of his teacher, Jñānaśrīmitra, make him a convenient window into the last phase
of Buddhist philosophy in India. We now have reliable translations of most of
the extant philosophical works of Ratnakīrti, and a number of studies have
explicated his philosophical views on a range of issues. Patrick McAllister’s
recent book, Ratnakīrti’s Proof of Exclusion, makes an important contribution to
this growing body of scholarship by providing not only a clear and precise
translation of the Apohasiddhi, but also a new critical edition of the text, and an
extensive analysis of Ratnakīrti’s formulation of the theory of exclusion.
McAllister thereby advances significantly our understanding of Ratnakīrti’s
views on the ontological status of universals, his theory of language, and his
account of conceptual cognition. |
