Buddhist Logic

Buddhist Logic, the categorical nomenclature modern Western discourse has extended to Buddhadharma traditions of 'Hetuvidya' (Sanskrit) and 'Pramanavada' (Sanskrit), which arose circa 500CE, is a particular development, application and lineage of continuity of 'Indian Logic', from which it seceded. Indian logic, and Buddhist Logic—in main heralded by Dignāga (c 480-540 CE)—are both primarily studies of 'inference'-patterns, where ‘inference’ is a gloss of anumāna (Sanskrit).

Sadhukhan, et al. (1994: p. 7) frames the centrality of 'syllogism' to Buddhist Logic and foregrounds its indivisibility as an investigative, authenticating and proofing tool instituted to establish the valid cognitive insights of the Buddhadharma:

Buddhist logic obviously contains the forms and nature of syllogism, the essence of judgement, etc. for which it deserves the name of logic. But that logic is not only logic it also establishes the doctrines of the Buddhists. Thus the philosophical tenets were the fulcrum and the logic developed as tools to establish those.

  • Buddhist Logic and Debate

    The courtyard debate one normally sees in monasteries is adopted at the school to train the students in reasoning and self expression.
  • Logic in Tibetan Buddhism

    While Buddhism offers perspectives on lasting happiness and experiences beyond this life, it is not a religion that talks about having blind faith, or on just doing what feels good. In this public talk, Geshe Tharchin speaks about the role of logic and reason in the Buddhist path to enlightenment, and why we are encouraged to question everything and everyone, even the Buddha himself. How have logic and debate played a role in Buddhism for centuries? How can wisdom, obtained through reasoning, free us from various forms of suffering and negative emotions such as craving, anger and hatred? How might reason show that reality is blissful and beautiful? In what situations could reason and faith be concordant? By combining the rigor of 25 years of studies toward a Geshe degree (the equivalent o...

  • 4 Key Characteristics about Buddhism

    From the conversations the Buddha had with his followers we are able to learn some important aspects about Buddhism and the reason why the Buddha taught what he did. In this video I introduce some sutras that highlight four key characteristics about the Buddha's teachings. In particular this video investigates whether blind faith is the order of the day in Buddhism or whether there is room for logical analysis and personal investigation, whether we need to expand our theoretical knowledge before we begin any sort of practice, and whether Buddhism is something that we should or shouldn't become attached to. #buddhism To read more and connect with me: Website: http://www.enthusiasticbuddhist.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Enthusiastic-Buddhist/213725042103864 Twitter: h...

Nagarjuna's logic follows the lines of the reductio ad absurdam. This argument "from infinity" is despised or ignored in the West for the most part, but it is Buddhism's "bread and butter."

  • Buddhist Monks. A Socratic Debate. April 22, 2011.MOV

    Tibetan Debates do more than provide a training in questioning. They also highlight the nature of interpretation and the scope of questioning within Tibetan scholastic traditions. The Buddhist monks have a special system of logic, with which they debate each other, so they practice to work with the concepts they learned in the classes. So, in fact, this way they train in logical thinking and exact expression. It takes a while to learn this specific technique of logical reasoning. They use traditional formal ways to hold a debate: the standing 'attacker' poses a statement and claps his hands; the opponent is sitting and needs to defend himself with a logical answer. Then the attacker tries to undermine the logic of the defender or comes up with a new argument. I found their deb...
