This fourth and final volume of Science and Philosophy in the Indian Buddhist Classics delves into the profound insights of classical Indian philosophy, focusing on the works of great thinkers from the Nalanda tradition. Unlike its predecessor, which sequentially presented the views of non-Buddhist and Buddhist schools, this volume explores specific philosophical topics such as the nature of the two truths, the analysis of self, and the Yogacara explanation of reality. It also examines emptiness in the Madhyamaka tradition, surveys logic and epistemology, and offers a unique perspective on language and meaning, largely crafted by Thupten Jinpa.
