Buddhism: The Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha

The Central Philosophy of Buddhism

A Study of the Madhyamika System

by T. R. V. Murti

An influential mid-twentieth-century study of Madhyamaka by an Indian philosopher, who read Nagarjuna's dialectic in comparison with Kant and Hegel as a form of absolutism. Though its interpretation is now often questioned, it shaped a generation of Western study of Buddhist philosophy.
