Freedom from Extremes Accomplished through Comprehensive Knowledge of Philosophy, Chapter 5
View through CrossRef
This chapter contains a translation of chapter 5 (“Madhyamaka”) of Taktsang Lotsawa Sherab Rinchen’s doxographic work Freedom from Extremes Accomplished through Comprehensive Knowledge of Philosophy. It begins with a short biography, followed by an introduction to the philosophical issues at stake that situates the debate within the Buddhist history of ideas. It charts the fault lines in the debate and what is at stake for Buddhist thought and practice, particularly the problems raised by global error theory for any attempt to develop a coherent theory of knowledge. We discuss the Indian antecedents of the controversy, examining how disputes regarding the proper interpretation of Nāgārjuna and Candrakīrti unfolded in India and then were transmitted and expanded in Tibet. Most of this chapter comprises the translation of Comprehensive Knowledge of Philosophy.
