Like many of their counterparts in the west, Buddhists philosophers realized a long time ago that our linguistic and conceptual practices are rooted in pre-predicative modes of apprehension that provide implicit access to whatever is immediately present to awareness. This paper examines Dignᾱga’s contributions to what has come to be known as a part of Buddhist Epistemology, focusing on the phenomenological and epistemic role of perception and self-awareness.
