Annotation

The author proposes to understand Tsongkhapa’s (1357–1419) philosophical analysis of the concept of "Self" in the light of the principles of Hegel's phenomenology. Tsongkhapa’s interpretation of the Prasangika’s attitude on “Selflessness” differs from the interpretations of other Buddhist schools. According to him, an ordinary mind combines invalid cognitions with valid ones and therefore the level of ordinary reasoning is not entirely invalid for him. The author arrives to the conclusion that the content of the concepts of «I» and «mere-I» depends on its function in the discourse which is that of «subject» and «predicate», accordingly. Tsongkhapa, having refuted the substantial mode of the subject of discourse, recognized its connection with the predicate (thinking tools) and the modus of the predicate as being valid, and thereby he defended thinking in its right to speak out about reality.
