I learned a lot from this paper as a preprint, now it's finally out: Davey Tomlinson, Limiting the Scope of the Neither-One-Nor-Many Argument: The Nirākāravādin's Defense of Consciousness and Pleasure. Enjoy! academia.edu/79605618/Limiting

The use of the term "consciousness" in discussing ancient Buddhist discourses is a Whiggish anachronism, in which we imagine ancient Indians to just be primitive versions of, and precursors to, ourselves rather than a distinctive culture in their own right.

My 600th post on Jayarava's Raves has just gone live.

Does Buddhism Provide Good Explanations? jayarava.blogspot.com/2022/12/

This one is about explanations, what makes a good and whether has any good explanations to offer.

TL:DR Most Buddhist explanations are not good explanations (for me).

This is an old paper of mine in which I delve into the Buddhist viewpoint on the function(s) of saññā (recognition), which according to the Suttapiṭaka is a particular "moment" or element of the perceptual activity. Here I examine also its dynamic relation with vedanā (sensation) and viññāṇa (consciousness).

Perhaps someone in the community is interested in this stuff...

Testing the system here with a pointer to a new publication that appeared in a series I'm editing at the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press: Tom J. F. Tillemans, "Views from Tibet : Studies on Tibetan Buddhist Logic, the Philosophy of the Middle, and the Indigenous Grammatico-Linguistic Tradition". A collection of previously published and revised articles, plus one new chapter. Also available in Open Access: verlag.oeaw.ac.at/en/product/v
