This book is perhaps the first sustained attempt to present Buddhism, its philosophy and religion, from the standpoint of Nagarjuna's Sunyata the Silence of the Middle Way. Criticism or Dialectic was born with Buddhism, and it attains its maturity in the Madhyamika doctrine of the Sunya. This pivotal conception played a decisive role in the development of Indian thought, Buddhistic as well as non-Buddhistic. Countries of Central Asia and the Far east to which Mahayana Buddhism spread have always taken the Madhyamika as their staple philosophy. Basing himself on a close study of the original texts, Professor Murti has recorded this vital system with thoroughness and understanding. parallels with cognate modes of thought, both Indian and European, are drawn; their differences, however, are not ignored. The author's critical acumen and deep erudition are well displayed. The Central Philosophy of Buddhism is now widely regarded as the standard work on the subject.
