Abstract

ABSTRACT The Pātañjalayogaśāstra (PYŚ) is typically understood to define yoga as thought-suppression. In several publications, Ian Whicher has sought to avoid the conclusion that the PYŚ endorses thought-suppression by proposing that the PYŚ’s definition of yoga refers not to thought-suppression but to liberation from the puruṣa’s misidentification with the mind. I argue that Whicher’s proposal is unsuccessful because the PYŚ portrays thought-suppression as necessary for this liberation.

Pātañjalayogaśāstra的思想抑制:反对Ian whecher对Patañjali瑜伽的解释

Pātañjalayogaśāstra (PYŚ)通常被理解为将瑜伽定义为思想抑制。在一些出版物中，伊恩·威彻试图避免PYŚ支持思想抑制的结论，他提出PYŚ对瑜伽的定义不是指思想抑制，而是指从puruṣa对思想的错误认识中解放出来。我认为威彻尔的提议是不成功的，因为PYŚ将思想压抑描绘成这种解放的必要条件。
