Rövid leírás:
The Yogacara school of Buddhist thought claims that all language-use is metaphorical. Exploring the profound implications of this assertion, Roy Tzhoar makes the case for viewing the Yogacara account as a full-fledged theory of meaning, one that is not merely linguistic, but also applicable both in the world and in texts.

Buddhist philosophy is fundamentally ambivalent toward language. Language is paradoxically seen as both obstructive and necessary for liberation. In this book, Roy Tzohar delves into the ingenious response to this tension from the Yog?c?ra school of Indian Buddhism: that all language-use is metaphorical. Exploring the profound implications of this claim, Tzohar makes the case for viewing the Yog?c?ra account as a full-fledged theory of meaning, one that is not merely linguistic, but also applicable both in the world as well as in texts.
Despite the overwhelming visibility of figurative language in Buddhist philosophical texts, this is the first sustained and systematic attempt to present an indigenous Buddhist theory of metaphor. By grounding the Yog?c?ra pan-metaphorical claim in a broader intellectual context, of both Buddhist and non-Buddhist schools, the book uncovers an intense philosophical conversation about metaphor and language that reaches across sectarian lines. Tzohar's analysis radically reframes the Yog?c?ra controversy with the Madhyamaka school of philosophy, sheds light on the Yog?c?ra application of particular metaphors, and explicates the school's unique understanding of experience.
The content of this book is well structured, while the writing is succinct and erudite. This is a seminal work in the study of YogÄcÄra thought, as well as an important addition to the fields of Indian philosophy, philosophy of language, and, more broadly, in Buddhist studies.
