It refutes the sixteen categories of the Nyaya school, which formed the logical and epistemological framework for many of the debates between Buddhist and Hindu philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sanskrit original of the Vaidalyaprakarana long lost, the author translates the text from Tibetan, giving it an extensive analytical commentary. The aim is twofold: to investigate the interaction of the founder of the Madhyamika school with this influential school of Hindu thought; and to make sense of how Nagarjuna’s arguments that refute the Naiyayika categories are essential to the Madhyamika path in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Outpost","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46563682091194,"sku":"9781949163001","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ufmllc.online\/products\/crushing-the-categories-vaidalyaprakarana-treasury-of-the-buddhist-sciences-1","provider":"Unique Finds Market LLC ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
