Abstract:
It is well known that Candrakīrti understands conventional knowledge to be inseparable from worldly convention. But "worldly" is not unproblematic. What is the world? This article explores a Tibetan debate on worldhood within Candrakīrti's epistemology. Drawing on the work of Wilfrid Sellars, it also investigates the modern assessment of Candrakīrti as a coherentist.
