所依不成

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: (the validity of the premise) is unfounded

Senses:

  • Also written 所依不成過 (Skt. āśraya-asiddha). The fourth of the four fallacies of the reason being 'unproved'  四不成過, one of the groups of fallacies that constitute the fourteen fallacies of the reason 因十四過. The word 'unfounded' means that the minor premise is not based on a subject accepted by both sides, i. e, at least one of the disputing parties rejects the existence of the subject. Since the subject is not accepted, the minor premise will naturally be rejected. A Vaiśeṣika against a Sautrāntika, who rejected the existence of space: "Space is a substance, because it possesses qualities." 〔入正理論 T 1630.32.11c12〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura, Hirakawa]
