Who this is
“He turned Buddhism's meditation-psychology into a fighting system of logic — and built a framework for testing claims so good that his fiercest enemies had to argue inside it for a thousand years.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“There are exactly two ways of knowing anything — direct perception and inference — and every claim, including scripture, must pass through one of those two gates or be turned away.”
