Since the Buddha did not fully explain the theory of persons that
underlies his teaching, in later centuries a number of different
interpretations were developed. This book presents the
interpretation by the celebrated Indian Buddhist philosopher,
Candrakirti (ca. 570-650 C.E.). Candrakirti's fullest statement of
the theory is included in his Autocommentary on the Introduction to
the Middle Way (Madhyamakavatarabhasya), which is, along with his
Introduction to the Middle Way (Madhyamakavatara ), among the
central treatises that present the Prasavgika account of the
Madhyamaka (Middle Way) philosophy. In this book, Candrakirti's
most complete statement of his theory of persons is translated and
provided with an introduction and commentary that present a careful
philosophical analysis of Candrakirti's account of the selflessness
of persons. This analysis is both philologically precise and
analytically sophisticated. The book is of interest to scholars of
Buddhism generally and especially to scholars of Indian Buddhist
philosophy.
