요약 : This dissertation engages two medieval Indian philosophical traditions on the question of how humans construct and experience their worlds. Both Dharmakirtian Buddhism (7th century onward) and Pratyabhijna Saivism (10th century onward) define themselves through dialogical encounters. The problematics of the earlier Buddhist views that Dharmakirti inherits fundamentally shape his famous theory that concepts refer merely to the exclusion of what is other, and that these concepts guide successful activity in the everyday world despite not being ultimately real. While his thought generally proceeds as if the Abhidharma ontology of ultimately real particulars were correct, at key moments he rejects the idea that any kind of diversity--from spatial extension to the mere differentiation of a moment of awareness into subject and object--could be ultimately real. Following Vasubandhu (4th century), Dharmakirti finally affirms that, ultimately, the appearance of a dualistically structured world is nothing but a cognitive error created by beginningless karmic imprints. The question of whether or not Dharmakirti's final ontology supports his account of ordinary experience inspires the Pratyabhijna Saiva critique of his ideas. Although Utpaladeva (10th century) and Abhinavagupta (10th-11th century) avail themselves of Dharmakirti's account of concept formation, they claim that Dharmakirti's reliance on beginningless karmic imprints cannot bridge the gap between nondual ultimate consciousness and the everyday world of mutually opposed subjects and objects. Moreover, in contrast to Dharmakirti's general refusal to provide an ultimate grounding for the conventional world, these Saivas claim that a successful ontology can and must address this question. Their sophisticated adaptation of Dharmakirti's theories allows them to account for the transition from their own articulation of ultimate reality as Siva's nonconceptual self-realization to the conventional worlds that we ordinarily experience. For these Saivas, the diversity we experience within the conventional world cannot be purely the result of an error. Rather, it is an expression of the nondual differentiation inherent to ultimate consciousness itself. While this consciousness always exceeds the limited realities of various types of sentient beings, these realities themselves are nothing but Siva's play of manifesting himself in diverse forms for the sheer joy of partaking in different experiences.
