| 摘要 | The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the claim that early Buddhism could be interpreted as an empirical philosophy. Made in a time when verifiable foundations were thought to lend credence to a system of belief，the assertion served to differentiate Buddhism from a "mystical" Hinduism and even to give it a leg up over theistic religions. The position of this paper is that the Buddhist Empiricism Thesis is most certainly false. That position is arrived at via a close examination of Buddhist means to knowledge and doctrinal content，which unfortunately entails taking only the most shallow view of a deep subject matter. This superficiality is no reflection on Buddhist belief，but rather is the necessary effect of refuting empirical claims for beliefs which are much more than merely "verifiable". |
