《正理滴论》中的似因探赜

On the Hetuabhasa of Rigs Pavi Thigs Pa

从逻辑角度对法称论师在其代表著作《正理滴论》中提出的三种正因:自性因、果性因、不可得因进行研究,讨论违反正因而产生的错误。通过对上述三种似因的分析以及将其与形式逻辑进行比较研究,不难发现,因明里包含着深刻的逻辑思想,与西方的形式逻辑,特别是亚里士多德的三段论,有着种种的相似之处。

This paper studies the three correct reasons advanced by Dharmakirti in his work of rigs pavi thigs pa： rang bzhin gyi rtags, vbras rtags and ma dmigs pavirtags from the perspective of logic, and discusses the mistakes resulting from going against correct reasons. By analysing the three hetuabhasas and comparing them with logic forms, it is not difficult to find that there is profound logic thoughts in hetu, which has various similarities with western logic forms, especially, with Aristotole’s syllogism.
