 While some authors seek to include knowledge of the ultimate within the scope of reliable cognitions, the view of the majority is that reliable cognitions concern the conventional realm. A further debate is about whether reliable cognitions should be limited to what, in the conventional realm, is held to be real. The definition of an ontological position in epistemological works thus concerns conventional reality; the ultimate is beyond the reach of reasoning. What Indian Buddhist epistemologists categorized as “ultimate” and “conventional” is transposed into the Madhyamaka framework of the Two Truths under the categories of “correct conventional” (yang dag paʼi kun rdzob) and “incorrect conventional” (log paʼi kun rdzob), with varying repartitions of objects between the two according to the ontological model that is adopted.
