Abstract: | "The chapter introduces the topic and the goals of the book. The popularity of mirror models of consciousness in Brahmanical philosophical traditions of Sāṃkhya, Yoga, and Advaita-Vedānta is explained in the context of these schools' non-reductionism about consciousness, as opposed to the reductionist models of consciousness in Buddhism. More broadly, the chapter draws the reader's attention to the underlying representationalist tendencies of Brahmanical mirror models of consciousness and their awareness of critique coming from Indian anti-representationalists. As non-reductionists, Brahmanical theories present a radical alternative to the prevalence of various kinds of reductionism in contemporary philosophy. As representationalists, they provide a thorough defence against Rortian critique of the so called "philosophy-as-epistemology" view"-- |
