Description:
This book provides a comparative study of the phenomenology of Yogacara Vasubandhu and that of the German philosopher Edmund Husserl, focusing on the understanding of the deeply inner nature of consciousness or mind. The text argues that Yogacara philosophy, especially as articulated by Vasubandhu, is far richer and more comprehensive than Western phenomenology, particularly Husserl’s approach.
Vasubandhu's philosophical orientation evolved to be idealist in the Indian sense or phenomenologist in the Husserlian sense. His Mahayana Yogacara idealism is grounded in Asanga's seminal text Sandhinirmocanasutra and his own Vijnaptimatratasiddhi (Vimsatika and Trimsika together), which explore the intrinsic theory of consciousness or mind.
The book uses the Husserlian phenomenological approach as a philosophical methodology and integrates select terminology to provide clarity. This work will be invaluable for students, researchers, and teachers in the fields of Indian and Buddhist philosophy.
