Titlin, L. I. The Problem of ‘Self’ in Polemics between Buddhism and Brahminism: History of Inquiry

Abstract: The article is devoted to the review of the key polemic writings of Ancient and Medieval India concerning the subject and researches in this sphere in the West and Russia. The author provides a brief review of Indian polemics concerning the subject in different philosophical schools and prepares the synopsis of arguments and researches on this topic from Pali Canon to Medieval writings. Particular attention is paid at the history of studying the most important Buddhist treatise, Abhidharma-kośa by Vasubandhu (IV century), studied by a famous Russian researcher Fyodor Shcherbatsky as a part of his international research project. The author also makes the emphasis on one of the key polemic writings on the subject that hasn’t been translated from Sanskrit into Russian yet — Pudgala-viniscaya by Vasubandhu. The author of the article also considers the latest translations and publications on this issue in Indian philosophy and provides the review of the recent and most interesting foreign researches, conferences and approaches. The author concludes that this issue is poorly explored in Russia and there are no translations or researches of the main writings on this matter in our country.

Keywords:

philosophy, self, non-self, subject, atman, anatta, consciousness, Vasubandhu, Abhidharmakośa, Indian.
