Abstract:
The main contention of this article is that Nāgārjuna's peculiar interpretation of the doctrine of "dependent co-origination" (pratītysamutpāda) as the principle of cooriginating and coexisting logical counterparts could be considered a solution to the traditional epistemological problem of the origin of ideas.
