A study on the Buddhist theory of perception based on DharmakTrti's Pramanavarttika, chapter III: A critical edition, translation and study of Pramanavarttika III 1-122 and 281-300

计划中的对佛法学Pramānavārttika （PV）的研究，将成为全面理解佛教哲学的国际努力的一部分。dharmakurti的PV代表了南亚思想史上最伟大的成就之一；只要佛教在次大陆上存在，它就对印度哲学产生了强烈的影响，直到今天，它还在继续被藏传佛教传统所研究。虽然PV的重要性得到了广泛的认可，但迄今为止，它在很大程度上仍未被翻译，并且只进行了零散的研究。目前，维也纳、洛桑、蒙特利尔和阿尔伯克基的同事正在翻译PV的各个部分。该项目的目标是编辑和翻译PV III的实质性部分，作为三个法理专家团队合作努力的一部分：莱比锡大学的E. Franco和S. Moriyama。[j] .中国农业大学学报（自然科学版）；123-248)和维也纳大学的B. Kellner及其助手（第5页）。249 - 280, 301 - 539)。《PV III》中达摩·鲁谛的感知理论主要集中在以下几个问题上：1)认识手段的数量；2)认识手段的界定；3)“pratyaksa”一词的词源和使用理由；(4)阿毗达摩的知觉理论与“无概念化”概念的相容性；5)感知对象；6)感知分类；7) pseudo-perception;(8)知识手段的结果；9)自我意识作为知识手段的结果。

The planned study of the Pramānavārttika (PV) of Dharmakīrti, will be part of an international endeavor towards the comprehensive understanding of Buddhist philosophy. Dharmakīrti’s PV represents one of the greatest achievements in South Asian intellectual history; it strongly influenced Indian philosophy as long as Buddhism was alive on the subcontinent and continues to be studied in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition until today. Although the importance of the PV is widely recognized, it remains hitherto largely untranslated and has only been studied fragmentarily. Various parts of the PV are now in the process of being translated by colleagues in Vienna, Lausanne, Montreal and Albuquerque. The goal of the project is to edit and translate a substantial part of PV III as part of a consorted effort by three teams of Dharmakīrti specialists: E. Franco and S. Moriyama at the University of Leipzig (vv. 1-122, 281-300), J. Taber and R. Hayes at the University of New Mexico (vv. 123-248) and B. Kellner and assistants at the University of Vienna (vv. 249-280, 301-539).Dharmakīrti’s theory of perception in PV III centers on the following issues: 1) the number of means of knowledge; 2) the definition of means of knowledge; 3) the etymology and justification of the use of the term pratyaksa; 4) the compatibility between the Abhidharmic theory of perception and the definition “free of conceptualization”; 5) the object of perception; 6) the classification of perception; 7) pseudo-perception; 8) the result of means of knowledge; 9) self-awareness as the result of the means of knowledge.
