Pyrrhonian Buddhism
Pyrrhonian Buddhism reconstructs the path to enlightenment shared both by early Buddhists and the ancient Greek sceptics inspired by Pyrrho of Elis, who may have had extended contacts with Buddhists when he accompanied Alexander the Great to India in the third century BCE. This volume explores striking parallels between early Buddhism and Pyrrhonian scepticism, suggesting their virtual identity. Both movements saw beliefs—fictions mistaken for tr…
Pyrrhonism
Pyrrhonism is commonly confused with scepticism in Western philosophy. Unlike sceptics, who believe there are no true beliefs, Pyrrhonists suspend judgment about all beliefs, including the belief that there are no true beliefs.

Pyrrhonists offer no view, theory, or knowledge…
Pyrrhonism and the Mādhyamaka
The question of possible Indian influence on Pyrrhonist skepticism was raised long ago by Diogenes Laertius in his biography of Pyrrho.

The Paradox of Historical Knowledge
If there is a core problem, an essentially contested but inescapable issue in Western philosophy, it is surely the problem of universals and particulars. Questions of epistemology, value and truth, perception, ethics, language, metaphysics, aesthetics, history all these can be considered as functions of the question of universals. The traditional answers to this question which bear a startling family resemblance constitute the keys to the maps th…
