Synopsis

Excerpt from Compendium of Philosophy: Being a Translation Now Made for the First Time From the Original Pali of the Abhidhammattha-Sangaha; With Introductory Essay and Notes

It will be objected that, at the best, we have but re corded the modern usage in Burmese colleges, built on a medieval tradition which has very possibly diverged from such interpretations as the compilers of the Pali Canon would have made. This is possibly quite true. But it does not improve the case for our unaided etymological inferences as to original meanings. We should not com mend the judgment oi a Burman, who sought to get at the meanings Of early Greek philosophers in the original, without reference to the mass of European comment thereon, grown up out Of medieval learning.
