- Articles/Self-Awareness (Svasaṃvitti) and Related Doctrines of Buddhists Following Dignāga + (Framed as a consideration of the other con … Framed as a consideration of the other contributions to the present volume of the ''Journal of Indian Philosophy'', this essay attempts to scout and characterize several of the interrelated doctrines and issues that come into play in thinking philosophically about the doctrine of ''svasaṃvitti'', particularly as that was elaborated by Dignāga and Dharmakīrti. Among the issues thus considered are the question of how ''mānasapratyakṣa'' (which is akin to ''manovijñāna'') might relate to ''svasaṃvitti''; how those related doctrines might be brought to bear with respect to some problems addressed with reference to the further doctrine (also closely related to ''svasaṃvitti'') concerning ''pramāṇaphala''; and the distinctiveness of Dharmakīrti’s ''sahopalambhaniyama'' argument for ''svasaṃvitti''. A question recurrently considered throughout the essay has to do with whether (following Akeel Bilgrami) ''svasaṃvitti'' reflects a ''perceptual'' or a ''constitutive'' understanding of self-awareness.itutive'' understanding of self-awareness.)
