OverviewEnglish summary: In the Apohavada chapter of his Slokavarttika, the seventh-century Hindu philosopher Kumarila undertakes an exhaustive critique of the distinctive Buddhist theory of meaning, the theory of exclusion, or Apohavada. According to this theory, which was introduced by the sixth-century Buddhist thinker Dignaga, a word refers not to some positive entity such as a universal, but to an exclusion. It became one of the core teachings of the Buddhist epistemological tradition. The debate on it is illustrative of the Buddhist-Brahmin disputes that shaped the development of classical Indian philosophy. This translation of Kumarila's chapter, together with a critical edition, is accompanied by a running explanation based on the classical commentaries and extensive notes. German description: Im Apohavada-Kapitel seiner Slokavarttika unternimmt der hinduistische Philosoph Kumarila (7. Jh.) eine Kritik an der buddhistischen Semantik, insbesondere der Theorie der Sonderung oder Apohavada. Nach dieser Theorie, die vom buddhistischen Denker Dignaga eingefuhrt wurde, bezieht sich ein Wort auf eine Sonderung von anderen. Die Theorie war kennzeichnend fur die buddhistische Erkenntnistheorie; die Debatte daruber ist exemplarisch fur die buddhistisch-brahmanischen Auseinandersetzungen, die die Entwicklung der klassischen indischen Philosophie gepragt haben. Diese englische Ubersetzung des Texts basiert auf einer kritischen Ausgabe und wird von einer laufenden Erlauterung, welche die klassischen Kommentare berucksichtigt, begleitet. Hinzu kommen philologische und historische Annotierungen.
