Paper doi abstract bibtex [first paragraph] The nature of consciousness and the epistemology of self-knowledge, or how we know our own minds, have prompted many discussions in Western philosophy, par- ticularly in recent analytic philosophy. Classical Indian philosophy has also made noteworthy contributions to the development of original theories and arguments concerning these issues. Unfortunately, these contributions are little known in con- temporary philosophy. This article proposes and defends an interpretation of some central views of Dignāga on reflexive awareness (svasamvedana), or RA, which throw light on these philosophical questions. The Dignāgian account of RA rests crucially on the so-called memory argument, which has remained relatively unknown in con- temporary discussions. The main purpose of this article is to defend an interpretation of the memory argument and thus to contribute to contemporary discussions about the nature of consciousness and the epistemology of self-knowledge.
