1. Apoha: Buddhist Nominalism And Human Cognition by Mark Siderits, Tom Tillemans, Arindam Chakrabarti
Buddhist Nominalism and Human Cognition
An interdisciplinary exploration of the Buddhist theory of apoha (exclusion), arguing that concepts and word meanings arise by differentiating what something is not rather than by invoking real universals. Bringing together historical analysis and analytic reconstruction of classical arguments, it examines how categorization, reference, and inference can function without universals, addresses objections such as circularity and regress, and connects these nominalist insights to contemporary debates in semantics, cognition, and philosophy of language.
