Description
About the Book
The Buddhist Analysis of Mind examines the principal concepts underlying the Buddhist definition of man as being a compound of mind (nāma) and matter (rūpa) where the mind is viewed as the combination of 121 types of consciousness (citta) and 52 types of psychic factors (cetasika).
The book also discusses the Buddhist Theory of Cognition (Citta-Vīthi) that accounts for the variant stages of cognitions ranging from dis-tinct (mahanta) to feeble (paritta) together with a brilliant exposition of the Buddhist view on Concept (Paññatti) analysed into knowable (Attha-Paññatti) and nameable (Nāma-Paññatti) concepts.
The book also affirms that the Buddhist analysis of consciousness can offer a tangible solution to the problem of a cognitive scientist who looks for an answer to explain as to how can a subjective consciousness ever study it-self objectively and thus find himself a step behind a natural scientist who is always confident of the possibility of knowing the subject matter of his studies.
