- Title
JIZANG'S ANTI-REALIST THEORY OF TRUTH: A MODAL LOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF UNIVERSAL AFFIRMATION THROUGH UNIVERSAL NEGATION.
- Authors
Sangyop Lee
- Abstract
The article focuses on Persian-Chinese Buddhist monk and scholar Jizang's theory of truth, which involves deducing universal affirmation from universal negation. It challenges interpretations that attribute Jizang's reasoning to a monistic worldview or the acceptance of true contradictions; arguing instead for an anti-realist understanding of truth based on the denial of mind-independent reality; and rejection of the correspondence theory of truth in Chinese Buddhism.
