Description

Buddhist Philosophy: Essential Readings provides a comprehensive introduction to the diverse and complex Buddhist philosophical tradition. This collection brings together important texts from each major Buddhist tradition, translated and introduced by recognized authorities in the field. The volume is organized into topical sections that reflect Western philosophical approaches to the discipline, with introductory essays explaining Buddhist perspectives on key subjects. Each section includes translations of primary texts, contextualized to provide a clear understanding of their significance. This makes it an ideal resource for intermediate or advanced courses in Buddhist philosophy, as well as for scholars and students seeking to explore the philosophical dimensions of Buddhism. By providing a reliable guide to reading and teaching these texts, Buddhist Philosophy fills a significant gap in the field, making this tradition accessible to both Western philosophers and those new to Buddhism.
