Description
Jnanagarbha's Commentary on the Distinction Between the Two Truths is a concise and lucid introduction to Indian Madhyamaka thought on the eve of its introduction to Tibet. This influential text, exemplifying the Svatantrika branch of the Madhyamaka School, explores how reason shaped the dialogue between Madhyamaka thinkers and other Buddhist schools, as well as the evolution of the Madhyamaka tradition. Translated by David Eckel, this volume provides a clear understanding of Jnanagarbha's work within its historical and philosophical context. Extensive notes, a transliterated version of the Tibetan translation, and a reproduction of the original Tibetan blockprints make it a valuable resource for scholars and interested readers alike. This book offers a unique insight into the development of Madhyamaka thought in India, shedding light on the key issues and personalities that dominated this period.
