 Yogācāra Buddhists have a pragmatic theory of concept-formation and view language as at best helping us get what we want and avoid what we want to avoid. The Buddha’s words are to be trusted because of his special experience and superior capacity as a reasoner as well as his compassion motivating his most excellent advice. Gaṅgeśa imagines an attack on testimonial knowledge from Buddhist skeptical quarters such that, in fact, there is no knowledge but only helpful or unhelpful advice because there is no truth, no veridicality. Statements do not correspond to facts. Gaṅgeśa’s rebuttal centers on knowledge production through words. Any instance of knowledge has a mode of production distinct from one that fails so to produce. The argument that erroneous utterances fail to generate knowledge cuts no ice, since erroneous utterances are not veritable testimony as we Naiyāyikas understand it, he says (2020: 1215). We are able to distinguish erroneous and true utterances by the processes that produce them, and thus meet the skeptical challenge.
