Quotes by Mark Siderits  (?)

“It is known in the West as Ockham’s Razor, but Indian philosophers call it the Principle of Lightness, for it dictates that we choose the ‘lighter’ of two competing theories. The Principle of Lightness may be stated as follows: given two competing theories, each of which is equally good at explaining and predicting the relevant phenomena, choose the lighter theory, that is, the theory that posits the least number of unobservable entities.”
Mark Siderits, Buddhism as Philosophy

“They teach that a rūpa dharmas lasts not just one moment but 17 moments.”
Mark Siderits, Buddhism as Philosophy

“This is the overall conclusion for which Nāgārjuna will argue in this chapter: that existents do not come into existence as the result of causes and conditions. There are four possible ways in which this might be thought to happen, and he rejects all of them.”
Mark Siderits, Nagarjuna's Middle Way: Mulamadhyamakakarika
