Tsong-kha-pa’s Realism

Tsong-kha-pa’s Realism:

Dreyfus 1997: 454.

Dharmakīrti’s Antirealism

Dharmakīrti’s Antirealism:

Georges Dreyfus repeatedly speaks of “Dharmakīrti’s Antirealism” (e.g. Dreyfus 1997: 251), or, also “Dharmakīrtian  Antirealism” (Dreyfus 1997: 447).

Externalism

Externalism:

Sara McClintock does not seem to use the expression “Externalism” but uses “Externalist” for Bahirarthavādin. See McClintock 2010: 86. By implication, one may also use Externalism for Bahirarthavāda. Bimal Matilal is wondering if we should consider “Externalism” instead of “Realism.”  See Matilal 1986: 370.

Internalism

Internalism:

Sara McClintock does not seem to use the expression “Internalism” but uses “Internalist” for Antarjñeyavādin. See McClintock 2010: 87. By implication, one may also use Internalism for Antarjñeyavāda. Bimal Matilal is wondering if we should consider “Internalism” instead of “Idealism.”  See Matilal 1986: 370.

Epistemic Idealism

The term can be found, for example, in McClintock 2010: 85–86, n. 227 (referring to Dunne 2004: 53–79) and is used for rendering Antarjñeyavāda (Shes bya nang gir smra ba). The Sanskrit term antarjñeyavādin, contrasted with bāhyārthavādin, is attested, for instance, in Jinendrabuddhi’s Pramāṇasamuccayaṭīkā (vol. 1, p. 90.6). I would like to thank Harunaga Isaacson for pointing out this to me. See lCang-skya, Dag yig (p. 493.22–25), where Shes-bya-nang-gir-smra-ba has been listed as a synonym of Yogācāra.

External Realism

External Realism:

The term can be found, for example, in McClintock 2010: 85–86, n. 227 (referring to Dunne 2004: 53–79) and is used for rendering Bāhyārthavāda (Phyi/Pha rol gyi don yod par smra ba).
