Abstract

Methodology of Yogācāra studies developed from apriori philosophical method based on investigation of Buddhist philosophy from the position of Western conceptions on the nature of philosophy to the conceptual analysis method, the essence of which is the articulation of fundamental terms of Yogācāra philosophy and from that — to the philological analysis demanding study of strictly linguistic and compositional peculiarities of Buddhist texts. The results of the work can be used in the studies of the history of Buddhist and European philosophy.
