印度佛教邏輯=Indian Buddhist logic; 因明=Hetuvidya; 陳那=Dignaga; 法稱=Dharmakirti
摘要
國內外對印度佛教邏輯的認識有普遍的誤解。印度邏輯史上首次創建演繹論證式應當歸功于佛教邏輯。陳那因明和法稱因明是印度佛教邏輯的兩個高峰。陳那因明為印度演繹邏輯打下基礎,法稱因明最終使論證形式完成從類比到演繹的飛躍,使之達到西方邏輯三段論水平。 There is still a fashionable misunderstanding among scholars both in China and abroad about Indian logic. The earliest deductive theory in the history of Indian logic should not be owed to Buddhism, but to the early Nyaya. In fact, Dignaga and Dharmakirti are two summits in the development of Buddhist logic as well as Indian logic. Dignaga lays the groundwork for the first deductive theory in Indian logic, and Dharmaklrti finally transforms Indian logic from analogy to deduction, which is the first time that Indian logic have reached the level of the Western syllogism.
