The Roar of a Tibetan Lion: Phya Pa Chos Kyi Seng Ge's Theory of Mind in Philosophical and Historical Perspective

By Jonathan Stoltz and Pascale Hugon

This book explores the contributions to the philosophy of mind made by the Tibetan Buddhist thinker Phya pa Chos kyi seng ge (1109-1169) in his seminal text, the Dispeller of the Mind's Darkness. This study, which includes a critical edition and English translation of those portions of the Dispeller devoted to explicating the nature of mental episodes and their objects, contributes to a deeper understanding of Tibetan intellectual history, while also facilitating a wider appreciation of both Phya pa's theory of mind and its significance within the global history of philosophy.
