This book examines the historical development of the concept of the cognition of nonexistent objects in several major Buddhist philosophical schools. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with a study of the historical development of the concept in Mahasamghika, Darstantika, Yogacara and Sautrantika, it evaluates how successfully they have argued against the extreme view of their main opponent the Sarvastivadins and established their view that one can know what there is not. It also includes thematic studies on the epistemological issues of nonexistence, discussing making sense of empty terms, controversies over negative judgments, and a proper classification of the conceptions of nothing or nonexistence. Taking a comparative approach to these topics, this book considers contemporary Western philosophers such as Husserl, Heidegger, Meinong and Russell alongside representative figures of the Buddhist \u003ci\u003ePramana School\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on first-hand study of primary sources in Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan, \u003ci\u003e Nonexistent Objects in Buddhist Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003emakes available the rich discussions and debates on the epistemological issues of nonexistence in Buddhist philosophy to students and researchers in Asian and comparative philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zhihua Yao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350121479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350121478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021","brand":"Zhihua Yao","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123083538687,"sku":"9781350121478","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffd06468-ba46-4eb8-9422-37e3bff2b0e4.jpg?v=1687428826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nonexistent-objects-in-buddhist-philosophy-zhihua-yao-9781350121478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
