La cosa del pensiero in Gaṅgeśa

Abstract

Through the distinction between being and presence, Heidegger investigated the history of philosophy and questioned the relation between thought and its object. Such inquiries about the thing of thought are directed here to Gaṅgeśa, a leading figure in the New Logic (Navya-Nyāya). A composite picture emerges, through this decontextualising lens, that does not forget an ontological difference, in a self-reflexive, epistemologically rigorous, and ontologically articulate account capable of not distancing the thing from the thought that thinks it while also abandoning the forced alternative between naive realism and subjective idealism.
