3 • Dignāga and Later Developments
Abstract
This chapter examines Dignāga’s seminal contribution to the concept of svasaṃvedana, focusing on its relation to memory, the two aspects of cognition, and its role as pramāṇaphala. It also traces how Dharmakīrti and other scholars carried forward and rearticulated the concept. These philosophical developments are examined through modern philological and philosophical lenses to engage with contemporary debates on self-awareness.
