Description: This book is a translation of Vasubandhu's Atmavadapratisedha, the treatise he added to his Abhidharmakoshbhasya, one of the most important works of medieval Indian Buddhist philosophy.

Review Quotes:

'The translation itself (pp. 71-121) is lucid ... [In] Duerlinger's important long commentary ... [e]very nuance of the text is well-explored and analyzed. ... He gives to a classic Indian Buddhist Sanskrit text the sort of critical attention that specialists in Greek philosophy give to Greek philosophical texts. This is a book everyone who studies Indian philosophy should read, and I hope it will become a standard against which other works in the field may be judged.'- N.H. Satami, Philosophy East & West
