On recognition and self: A discussion based on Nyāya, Mīmāṃsā and Buddhism [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The phenomenon of recognition is a point of contention in the debate between the orthodox Hindus and Buddhists on whether the self (ātman) exists. The Hindus, including Naiyāyikas and Mīmāṃsakas, argue that recognition evidences the existence of the self, while Buddhist philosopher Śāntarakṣita maintains that there is no self and recognition should be explained in another way. This article examined two disputes, focusing on the two subsidiary aspects of a recognition: memory and self-recognition. For Hindus, it is the existence of the self that makes memory and self-recognition possible. For Buddhists, it is due to the phenomena ofmemories and self-recognitions that people postulate the existence of the self. I arguethatBuddhistexplanation of memory is more acceptable, while their debates on self-recognition should be considered as a tie.
