Event 2011 | Event < Official Site - Indian Buddhist Thought in 6th-7th Century China

In this book, an international team of fourteen scholars investigates the Chinese reception of Indian Buddhist ideas, especially in the sixth and seventh centuries. Topics include Buddhist logic and epistemology (pramāṇa, yinming); commentaries on Indian Buddhist texts; Chinese readings of systems as diverse as Madhyamaka, Yogācāra and tathāgatagarbha; the working out of Indian concepts and problematics in new Chinese works; and previously under-studied Chinese evidence for developments in India. The authors aim to consider the ways that these Chinese materials might furnish evidence of broader Buddhist trends, thereby problematizing a prevalent notion of “sinification”, which has led scholars to consider such materials predominantly in terms of trends ostensibly distinctive to China. The volume also tries to go beyond seeing sixth- and seventh-century China primarily as the age of the formation and establishment of the Chinese Buddhist “schools”. The authors attempt to view the ideas under study on their own terms, as valid Buddhist ideas engendered in a rich, “liminal” space of interchange between two large traditions.

從“勝軍比量”到“唯識比量”—— 玄奘對簡別語“自許”的使用

南京大學哲學系

時間：2014年11月28日（五）上午 10:30 – 12:30

地點：政治大學山上校區百年樓哲學系330227室

Abstract演講摘要：

按照因明作法的通則，對於共比量，除宗體外，其餘宗依、因、喻等都必須共許極成，否則就會犯“不極成”的過失。不過，我們可以通過簡別來避免過失，“若自比量，以許言簡，顯自許之，無他隨一等過。若他比量，汝執等言簡，無違宗等失。……隨其所應，各有標簡。”而一旦作出這樣的簡別，它也就成了自比量或他比量，而不再是共比量。

然而，玄奘在他所作的兩個典範性的因明量式“勝軍比量”與“唯識比量”中，都使用了簡別語“自許”，而奘門後學一般都視其為共比量。那麼，“自許”的簡別是否可以出現在共比量中呢？這與自比量中“自許”的簡別又有何區別呢？

早在上世紀二十年代，呂澂先生在《因明綱要》中就已提出了一個非常重要的看法：“以是因上簡言實有二類，或簡其為宗法，或簡其法自體。諸論但明初門，理准應有後義。”筆者以為，呂先生的這一說法總體是能夠成立的，雖然在某些具體問題上亦有可商榷之處，本文即以“勝軍比量”與“唯識比量”為例來說明這一點。

Momentary Dharmas, Momentary Persons: Kuiji's窺基 Arguments for Non-Self

Ernest Billings (Billy) Brewster (Harvard University)

時間：2014年6月13日（五）上午 11AM

地點：政治大學山上校區百年樓哲學系330227室

Abstract演講摘要：

The existence or non-existence of persons was the cardinal issue in dispute within the rationalistic tradition of Buddhist-Brāhmaṇical debate. Historically, Xuánzàng’s 玄奘(602-664Treatise Proving Consciousness-Only (* Vijñaptimātrasiddhi-śāstra; Cheng weishi lun《成唯識論》) is of considerable importance because it contains crucial early materials documenting the Buddhist-Brāhmaṇical debate up to the 7th century, an important period which is under-documented in the available Sanskrit sources. The only direct commentaries on the Cheng weishi lun by Xuanzang’s disciple, Kuījī 窺基(632-682 C.E.), are also of considerable historical interest in that they contain a wealth of material on the arguments of the Sāṅkhya (數論), Vaiśeṣika(衛世; 勝論; 吠世史迦) Jaina, and Śaiva (i.e., Paśupata 獸主and Parivrājaka 波利呾羅拘迦) interlocutors (pūrvapakṣins) represented in the Cheng weishi lun. Philosophically, Kuījī’s Recorded Explanations on the Treatise Proving Consciousness Only (Vijñaptimātra-siddhi-śāstra)《成唯識論述記》and Essentials of the Treatise Proving Consciousness-Only in the Palm of the Hand《成唯識論掌中樞要》are of particular interest in that his arguments against these views of Self are constructed in the form of formal inferences, composed of subject-locus (pakṣa), reason (hetu), and example (dṛṣṭānta). In this paper, I investigate Kuiji’s exegesis on the first section of the Cheng weishi lun in order to clarify a number of puzzling passages dealing with the diverse doctrinal theories of the rival traditions.

地點：政治大學百年樓哲學系圖書室

主持人：黃柏棋教授（政治大學宗教研究所所長）

Abstract演講摘要：

After presenting some background on the Pali commentarial literature and the School of Buddhaghosa, I turn to the Pali Aṭṭhakathā literature in a little more detail and then discuss the authorship of the Abhidhamma commentary. The main part of this paper, however, is concerned with the first part of that commentary, the Aṭṭhasālinī. I examine this work from the point of view of its sources. It can be clearly shown that it is largely taken from the Abhidhamma section of the Mah'-aṭṭhakathā, mostly verbatim — a work dating probably from the late third century A.D. in the form utilized by our author/editor. That work itself, however, was largely a compilation and contains large sections that have been adopted in toto from one or more separate late second century sources as well as earlier commentarial matter from one or more commentaries on the Dhammasaṅgaṇi.

Ganeri, Jonardon. 2012. The self: naturalism, consciousness, and the first-person stance. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Chapter 7 & 8.

What is it to occupy a first-person stance? Is the first-personal idea one has of oneself in conflict with the idea of oneself as a physical being? How, if there is a conflict, is it to be resolved? The Self recommends a new way to approach those questions, finding inspiration in theories about consciousness and mind in first millennial India. These philosophers do not regard the first-person stance as in conflict with the natural — their idea of nature is not that of scientific naturalism, but rather a liberal naturalism non-exclusive of the normative.

Concluding Discussion

空性與方法：跨文化佛教哲學十四論

作者：林鎮國 2012.12 政大出版社

本書以空性與方法為題，是受到嘉達美《真理與方法》的啟發。如何從方法／非方法中開顯存有／真理，原是各家哲學所共許的目標，佛教哲學也不例外。凡能落實在邏輯、知識、倫理、歷史、宗教的層次，應機設教，有效達成解脫論目標，方法的多元主義本來就符合佛教的立場。副標題所強調的「跨文化佛教哲學」進路，說明本書聚焦於跨文化情境中佛教意義世界的孳乳、繁衍與豐富：初期大乘瑜伽行派如何看待「證成道理」，陳那如何在邏輯、知識論與語言哲學議題上全面和各印度哲學派交鋒，促成印度哲學的知識論轉向，龍樹如何在《迴諍論》中質疑量論的合法性，中世紀漢語佛教徒如何學習來自印度的邏輯和知識論，後來的發展又如何影響近代東亞二種哲學型態的形成，這些都是本書關切的議題。其他如從「智的現象學」抉發天台智顗的一心三觀，從敘事與行事性言說重新解讀神會禪學的類形上學命題，從德里達的〈暴力與形上學〉接引列維納斯和龍樹的哲學對話，從布特曼解神話詮釋學審視印順的人間淨土思想，甚至於從西谷啟治論空的歷史性比較京都學派和新儒家的歷史意識，都是跨文化與跨方法論下具體的詮釋實踐。

Comparing the attention to the Sanskrit and the Tibetan sources, the Chinese texts and commentaries in the studies of Buddhist logic and epistemology have been largely neglected. Such negligence prevents us having a fair picture of the development of Buddhist logic and epistemology as a whole. In order to fill the gap of our knowledge in this regard, it is the aim of this workshop to lay down a preliminary ground for the study of Buddhist logic and epistemology in the Chinese sources. In this workshop, we will focus on some of the texts which are most essential in this field, while the main philosophical issues are also on the agenda of exploration. This workshop is publication-oriented.

Abstract 演講摘要：

「二十僧」在傳統西藏佛教研究中是一個最有發展性的主題之一。「僧伽」（Saṃgha）是普遍為佛教徒所尊崇的三寶之一，構成體現佛陀聖教之聖者的理想團體。二十僧列舉了修行者必須歷經之所有可能的階位，這些階位由於修行者在宇宙中所處的位置、其根器、其禪定修習與智慧之程度之不同而有差異。本演講主要根據14世紀西藏學者宗喀巴對於「僧」提出的詮釋，嘗試概述「二十僧」這個論題在西藏佛教文化中之重要性，並且分析「二十僧」的結構。

The Twenty Varieties of the Saṃgha (Tib. dge ’dun nyi shu) is one of the most formative subjects in traditional Tibetan Buddhist studies. The Saṃgha is one of the Three Jewels (‘Buddha, Dharma, Saṃgha’) universally revered by all Buddhists and is comprised of the ideal community of Noble Persons who embody the Buddha’s teachings. The Twenty Saṃghas enumerates all the possible stages through which any given individual might pass, depending upon factors such as that individual’s cosmological circumstances, the acuity of his or her faculties, and the individual’s degree of meditative cultivation and cognitive insight. This presentation centers on the interpretation of the Saṃgha given by the 14th century Tibetan scholar Tsong-kha-pa blo-bzang grags-pa. The presentation provides an overview of the importance of the Twenty Saṃghas in Tibetan Buddhist culture and a structural analysis of the topic’s overall content.

About the Lecturers:

John Taber 教授為國際知名之研究中世紀前期印度哲學的專家，尤其專精彌曼沙（Mīmāṃsā）學派最重要的哲學家Kumārila Bhaṭṭa （七世紀）以及不二吠檀多學派（Advaita Vedānta）。在佛教哲學方面，則特別擅長佛教知識論傳統，包括世親、陳那、法稱等，同時兼治佛教與婆羅門哲學間的論辯與對話。其專著《A Hindu critique of Buddhist epistemology: Kumārila on Perception. The "Determination of perception" chapter of Kumārila Bhaṭṭa's Ślokavārttika, translation and commentary》以及多篇學術論文，蜚聲國際。

Parimal G. Patil 教授為年輕一輩印度哲學學者中的佼佼者，專研中世紀後期印度哲學，尤其是在7-11世紀以 Jñānaśrīmitra 與 Ratnakīrti 為首的佛教哲學家與印度教哲學家之間的論辯。其兩本專著《Against a Hindu God: Buddhist Philosophy of Religion in India》與《Buddhist Philosophy of Language in India: Jñānaśrīmitra on Exclusion》已經成為此領域的代表作。此外，Patil 教授也特別關心哲學取徑在宗教研究中的定位，並嘗試回答哲學研究如何對宗教研究做出貢獻的問題。
