Indian Buddhist Theories of Persons: Vasubandhu's Refutation of the Theory of a Self (Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism)

In this book, Vasubandhu's classic work Refutation of the Theory of a Self is translated and provided with an introduction and commentary. The translation, the first into a modern Western language from the Sanskrit text, is intended for use by those who wish to begin a careful philosophical study of Indian Buddhist theories of persons. Special features of the introduction and commentary are their extensive explanations of the arguments for the theories of persons of Vasubandhu and the Pudgalavâdines, the Buddhist philosophers whose theory is the central target of Vasubandhu's refutation of the theory of a self.

The Refutation of the Self in Indian Buddhism: Candrakīrti on the Selflessness of Persons (Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism)

Since the Buddha did not fully explain the theory of persons that underlies his teaching, in later centuries a number of different interpretations were developed. This book presents the interpretation by the celebrated Indian Buddhist philosopher, Candrakīrti (ca. 570–650 C.E.).  Candrakīrti’s fullest statement of the theory is included in his Autocommentary on the Introduction to the Middle Way (Madhyamakāvatārabhasya), which is, along with his Introduction to the Middle Way (Madhyamakāvatāra ), among the central treatises that present the Prāsavgika account of the Madhyamaka (Middle Way) philosophy. In this book, Candrakīrti’s most complete statement of his theory of persons is translated and provided with an introduction and commentary that present a careful philosophical analysis of Candrakīrti’s account of the selflessness of persons. This analysis is both philologically precise and analytically sophisticated. The book is of interest to scholars of Buddhism generally and especially to scholars of Indian Buddhist philosophy.

Indian Buddhist Studies on Non-Buddhist Theories of a Self (Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism)

This book addresses prominent views on the nature of the self in Indian philosophical traditions and presents Buddhist critiques of those conceptions through the translation and commentary on &#346;&#257;ntarak&#7779;ita's chapter in the Tattvasa&#7747;graha on theories of a self and Kamala-&#347;&#299;la's commentary on it in his Tattvasa&#7747;grahapañjik&#257;. The book is comprised of an introduction presenting the theories of a self in the Indian Buddhist Middle Way philosophies and in the different philosophical schools &#346;&#257;ntarak&#7779;ita and Kamala&#347;&#299;la study and offers a background for the translation. The detailed translation that follows reveals the theories of a self that are explained in the philosophical schools in India called the Ny&#257;ya-Vai&#347;e&#7779;ika, M&#299;m&#257;&#7747;s&#257;, S&#257;&#7747;khya, Jain, Advaita Vedanta, and V&#257;ts&#299;putr&#299;ya. It is complemented by a thorough commentary by the author which brings the text to light for a modern audience. A useful contribution to Indian philosophy and global philosophy, this book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Philosophy, Religious Studies and Buddhist Studies.

This translation of Plato’s Sophist conveys the peculiar nature of the doctrines expressed in the Greek text, and it includes an introduction that attempts – without recourse to contemporary technical philosophical ideas – to explain these doctrines from the perspective of how Plato’s philosophy was understood by Aristotle and the ancient Platonists. For this reason the book is especially suitable for use in undergraduate courses on Plato and in introductory courses on the history of ancient philosophy.
