| Summary, etc | Perceiving Reality: Consciousness, Intentionality, and Cognition in Buddhist Philosophy by Christian Coseru offers a detailed philosophical study of Buddhist theories of perception and cognition. The book investigates how perceptual experience gives rise to knowledge and argues that Buddhist philosophers developed sophisticated accounts of consciousness, intentionality, and awareness that remain highly relevant to contemporary debates in philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Drawing upon the works of Vasubandhu, Dignāga, Dharmakīrti, and other classical Buddhist philosophers, Coseru explores topics including perception, conceptual cognition, language, self-awareness, reflexive consciousness, and epistemic justification. He places these ideas in conversation with Western phenomenologists such as Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, as well as recent developments in analytic philosophy and cognitive science. Rather than presenting Buddhist epistemology as merely historical, the author argues that it provides a viable framework for understanding perception as an embodied, intentional, and causally effective cognitive process. The book develops the concept of phenomenological naturalism, proposing that Buddhist analyses of cognition can contribute to modern discussions of consciousness, perception, and the mind–world relationship. Intended for advanced students and researchers, it is an important resource in Buddhist studies, philosophy of mind, epistemology, comparative philosophy, phenomenology, and cognitive science. |
