    I'm currently working on the Lokāyata section of Bhavyakīrti's (10th century) Pradīpoddyotanānusandhiprakāśikānāmavyākhyāṭīkā. Although it seems that Bhavyakīrti doesn't fully understand the meaning of some Lokāyata arguments, the section is quite interesting.

    The main subjects are:
    - rejection of the Lokāyata epistemology,
    - discussion of the mind-body relation,
    - rejection of the Lokāyata negation of afterlife.

    Finally it sees the light!

    My paper "Bhāviveka and Avalokitavrata on the Two So-Called Non-cause Theories (ahetuvāda) of the Lokāyatikas" was published today on Indo-Iranian Journal, issue 66.1 (which I share with Oskar von Hinüber).
