More about the book
Erich Frauwallner's book "The Philosophy of Buddhism" has become a classic. The presentation is well-chosen; it combines general overviews, introductions to the thoughts of individual Buddhist philosophers, and extensive excerpts from philosophical works of South Asian Buddhism in literal translation. The book thus moves between an introductory work and an anthology. The concise introductions to the representative texts are informative and clear, highlighting the philosophical content in the light of its historical development; the translations from the relevant languages are exceptionally reliable.
