Buddhist Philosophy: Essential Readings by Jay Garfield
Oxford University Press; First Edition | April 21, 2009 | English | ISBN: 0195328175 | 478 pages | PDF | 4 MB

The Buddhist philosophical tradition is vast, internally diverse, and comprises texts written in a variety of canonical languages. It is hence often difficult for those with training in Western philosophy who wish to approach this tradition for the first time to know where to start, and difficult for those who wish to introduce and teach courses in Buddhist philosophy to find suitable textbooks that adequately represent the diversity of the tradition, expose students to important primary texts in reliable translations, that contextualize those texts, and that foreground specifically philosophical issues.
