The proceedings of the Third International Dharmakirti Conference held in Hiroshima in 1997 collect a number of papers devoted to the study of the great seventh-century Buddhist philosopher; Dharmakirti; and his impacts upon the succeeding generations of both Buddhist and non-Buddhist philosophers in India and Tibet. The Second International Dharmakirti Conference was held in Vienna; and its proceedings; Studies in the Buddhist Epistemological Tradition; have been published in this same series. The present volume contains the results of the important researches made by the major Dharmakirtian scholars in the world since the last conference; so that the readers can discover the present state of affairs in the field of Buddhist epistemology and logic. Some papers are concerned with the epistemological topics; such as the notion of perceptibility; and others with the purely logical problems like an empty subject. Some deal with the Buddhist theory of language called apoha in comparison with the views of Nagarjuna; Bhartrhari and others; while others are devoted to the ontological questions; such as how to determine the causal relationship. Several papers discuss Dharmakirti in the light of criticism made by Jaina; Nyaya or Minamsa philosophers. And finally the most remarkable feature of the present volume is the increase of number of contributions devoted to the study of Tibetan tradition of Buddhist epistemology and logic which has been developed under the great influence of Dharmakirti.

When the 8th was formed in 1942; it had just a few men and no planes. It took two years and a great many casualties; and a great many lost aircraft before the 8th could compete on equal terms with the german luftwaffe. The introduction of long range fighter aircraft; such as the p-51 Mustang; greatly assisted the 8th air force. These brave men fought a battle in which there was no where to run; if you were injured or your plane was shot down. The paved the way for the D-Day landings; which could not have succeeded without their efforts. JRV0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
