DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Assoc.-Prof. Dr. Roy Tzohar (Tel Aviv Univers
 ity) \n\nBuddhist philosophy is fundamentally ambivalent toward language\
 , paradoxically seen as both obstructive and necessary for liberation. As 
 a case study\, this talk will present the ingenious response to this tensi
 on from the Yogācāra school of Indian Buddhism\, arguing that all langua
 ge-use is metaphorical. Exploring the profound implications of this claim\
 , as well as its broader Indian scholastic context\, Tzohar will make the 
 case for viewing the Yogācāra account as a full-fledged theory of meanin
 g\, one that is not merely linguistic\, but also applicable both in the wo
 rld as well as in texts.\n\nThe lecture is open to all members of the univ
 ersity and academic audiences. Please contact ceres-coordination-office@ru
