      According to the #BuddhistEpistemological school, cognitions are self-luminous, i.e., whenever a cognition occurs, this is aware of itself. Authors of the #BhāṭṭaMīmāṃsā school reply that one is aware only of the object cognised. 1/4

      One then concludes at a later point that a cognition has taken place on the basis of the fact that one has cognised the object. Something like finding the mental image of an umbrella in your epistemic wardrobe and concluding that a cognition of it must have taken place. 2/4

      Mīmāṃsā authors say that this later realisation that a cognition has taken place is an instance of the instrument of knowledge called #arthāpatti. #Mīmāṃsā and Buddhist authors discuss the topic at length, mentioning various counterexamples (lamps, scales…). 3/4

      Basically: Is cognition aware of itself? Or does it need additional causes to be known? #epistemology #SouthAsianEpistemology 4/4

      This is the central issue we explored in this book. I combined a version of Dignāga's memory argument with ideas from European phenomenology to defend reflexive awareness. Siderits used #BhāṭṭaMīmāṃsā to argue against it.https://global.oup.com/academic/product/self-no-self-9780199593804?cc=ca&lang=en& …

          Thank you, Evan. Yes, I could have mentioned it and I am happy you brought it to the attention of other readers. After this book, others got back to the issue, e.g., Ram-Prasad and Ganeri in this book (see especially MacKenzie's contribution): 1/2https://www.routledge.com/Hindu-and-Buddhist-Ideas-in-Dialogue-Self-and-No-Self-1st-Edition/Kuznetsova-Ganeri-Ram-Prasad/p/book/9781409443544 …
