Selected Metaphysical Chapters

Kommentar: Goodman, Charles / Übersetzer: Goodman, Charles

Beschreibung

In The Tattvasamgraha of Santaraksita, Charles Goodman translates chapters from the Tattvasamgraha that deal with fundamental philosophical issues like the existence or nonexistence of God and the soul and the compatibility of beliefs about karma with Buddhism's fundamental claim that there is no self. Goodman's introductory chapters discuss translation choices and explain the arguments and reasoning employed by the Tattvasamgraha's original authors, Santaraksita and Kamalasila.
