Abstract

The aim of this text is to reach a clear and comprehensive description of the Buddhist way of addressing the cognitive issue. The term cognition refers here to the process by which the conviction that something is "true" develops. The Buddhist examination of cognition can, in turn, be seen as a way to find greater freedom and detachment in regards our own thoughts, opinions and trends.
