1 online resource (xii, 198 p.) "This highly original work explores the concept of self-awareness or self-consciousness in Buddhist thought. This work is the first to study systematically the Buddhist theory of self-cognition with an emphasis on its pre-Dignaga development. Its central thesis is that the Buddhist theory of self-cognition originated in a soteriological discussion of omniscience among the Mahasamghikas, and then evolved into a topic of epistemological inquiry among the Yogacarins. To illustrate this central theme, the author draws on a large body of primary sources in Chinese, Pali, Sanskrit and Tibetan, most of which are being presented to an English readership for the first time. This work makes available important resources for the study of the Buddhist philosophy of mind."--BOOK JACKET. 1. Introduction -- 2. Origin : Mahasamghika -- 3. Refutation : Sarvastivada -- 4.
