Abstract
This proceedings volume contains 30 papers dealing with the history, literature and ideas of the
logico-epistemological school of Indian Buddhism initiated by Dignaga and Dharmakirti, and related
currents in South Asia (India), Tibet and East Asia (China). The papers address historical and
philological problems raised by important recent manuscript discoveries, pursue specific research
questions in the history of philosophy, and undertake philosophical reconstructions and critical
examinations relating to individual theories and arguments. By focusing on philosophical currents
in Asia that developed and applied rigorous philosophical methods, the volume also aims to
contribute to the formation of a better-founded global historical awareness in the field of
philosophy.
