The proceedings volume of the Fifth International Dharmakirti Conference (Heidelberg, y Birgit Kellner, Patrick McAllister,
h
August 2014) is concerned with the logico-epistemological school of Buddhism, a long-
p
lasting tradition that pursued the analysis of knowledge, inference and proof within a o Horst Lasic, Sara McClintock (eds.)
s
Buddhist soteriological framework based on the works of the Indian epistemologist and
o
logician Dharmakirti (6th–7th c. CE). Having been shaped in the environment of medieval l
i
h
India, with its multiple mutually interacting and partly competing religio-philosophical
P
schools, the methods and approaches of Buddhist logic and epistemology had lasting impact
s
‘
on the intellectual history of Tibetan Buddhism and were also received in China and Japan. i
t
The 30 papers in this volume offer a snapshot of an international research landscape with r

k
centers in Vienna and Japan. They address historical and philological problems raised by
a
important recent manuscript discoveries, pursue specific research questions in the history of m Reverberations
philosophy, and undertake philosophical reconstructions and critical examinations relating r

to individual theories and arguments. By focusing on currents in Asia that developed and h
D
applied rigorous philosophical methods, the volume aims to contribute to the formation of

a better-founded global historical awareness in the field of philosophy. f of Dharmakīrti‘s
