Troubles with "Nirvâna" The End of Thought and the Re-Birth of Speech

Author(s): Borislav Mikulić
Subject(s): Philosophy
Published by: Hrvatsko Filozofsko Društvo

Summary/Abstract: Referring to the recent Croatian translation of the four main works on the central conceptions of later Buddhism by the Russian Indologist Theodor (Fyodor) Stcherbatsky, in the first part of the paper the author comments on the relevance of these classical modern studies in Buddhology for the local cultural and academic context, where the early Buddhist philosophy was well represented through the work of Èedomil Veljaèiæ (Bhikkhu äÂnajîvako) and his students in the 70s and 80s. The second section gives a brief overview of the main historical, logical, epistemological, and system-building topics in Stcherbatsky’s writings, leading to the pluralistic theory of »dhammâ« as the mediator and the common ground of all other conceptions.
