9. A trope-theoretic interpretation of the Abhidharma is advanced in J. Ganeri, Philosophy in Classical India (New York: Routledge, 2001), pp. 101-2. Ganeri's primary objective in ch. 4, which contains this discussion, is to interpret the ideas of Dignāga, the founder of Buddhist epistemology. When I wrote this article, I was not yet familiar with Ganeri's work in this area
