Description: This book brings together nineteen of Mark Siderits's most important essays on Buddhist philosophy. Together they cover a variety of topics, from metaphysics, logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, and ethics, to the specific discussions of the interaction between Buddhist and classical Indian philosophy.
Review Quotes: "For those with an interest in Buddhist thought, the collection is of great value. Siderits takes us on an illuminating and informative tour of ancient debates that to many may have seemed both dated and obscure; and from these debates, drawing on his remarkable knowledge, imagination and insight, he is often able to help us learn real philosophical lessons...these essays more than repay the effort required to engage with them. Collectively they represent perhaps the single most important effort yet made to build a world philosophy, one that would learn from the various great wisdom traditions of humanity while being at the same time highly respectful and searchingly critical of all sides in the conversation." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
