本論文是針對日本學界之宇井伯壽、上田義文所提及的識轉變及三性 概念所做之分析。論文中以安慧、真諦、玄奘三人在唯識三十頌的不同文 為基底，對唯識無境此概念進行考察。 論文中發現唯識無境此一語詞 在使用中並非如同真諦在轉識論中所宣稱的一般--為一修行之中間階位， 而是一種對外境非如實有的說法而已。在真諦的系統中，因為此語詞的誤 解所帶來的結果，使得其以為識為能緣，境為所緣，識即為依他性，境即 為分別性，這本來僅是世親以外境非實有，識為依他性的敘述。真諦的詮 釋使得凡夫位在識的性格也可為依他性。而這也是成唯識論中強調位次修 行所不能允許的。 論文末並展示成唯識論之五位修行與真諦在攝大 乘論及轉識論的對比。

This dissertation examines learning as part of social transformation in a semi-rural town in New Mexico, United States. It incorporates a focus on young people through direct work with children and observations in school and argues that each person's understanding is historically emergent from what sense they make of the events of their personal history as this unfolds over time in intersubjective relations with others. This has implications for the ways in which Hispano/a and Latino/a people living in “Bosque Verde” make sense of concepts like respect, hard work and obligation, as well as how they think about family and children's wellbeing. The ways in which people experience and understand getting older and their movements from child to adult/parent and from parent to grandparent/elder are central to this process of making sense. As people age, what they know to be true transforms, as does how they perceive the effects of social change. For people living in Bosque Verde, this includes both the experience of contemporary social and economic shifts in New Mexico and the United States, as well as how people there have made sense of social marginalisation over the past century and back into the more distant past. Parents and elders manifest historical consciousness of these transformations in part through their concerns for children and their vulnerability in an insecure and unequal world. Children, however, constitute their own ideas about family, hard work, care and respect in ways that potentially transform their meaning, as well as the possibilities of their own futures. This thesis therefore describes ‘keeping it tight' in Bosque Verde as a microhistorical process that shapes how people understand and experience social relationships over the lifetime. This process, in turn, influences how people living there make sense of the past and imagine the future for themselves and others.
