AbstractThe Pratyabhijna system, elaborated in the tenth and eleventh centuries by
the Kashmiri philosophers Utpaladeva and Abhinavagupta, presents a
rational justification of the metaphysical principles contained in the
Saiva nondualistic scriptures. However, contrary to what one might expect,
many arguments to which Utpaladeva and Abhinavagupta resort when
defending their idealism belong to Buddhist rather than &aiva sources.
This article examines the profound influence, in this respect, of the
Buddhist "logico-epistemological school" on the Pratyabhijna system.
But it also shows that Utpaladeva and Abhinavagupta are not unknowingly
or unwittingly influenced by their Buddhist opponents: they systematically
emphasize this influence, thus taking full responsibility for appropriating
their rivals' concepts. Moreover, they highlight their fundamental diver-
gence regarding the way consciousness manifests a seemingly external
and diverse universe, most notably by replacing the Vijiianavadins' tra-
ditional analogy: according to the Saivas, perceived objects should not
be compared to dreamt objects, but to yogins' creations.
