This volume brings together nineteen of Mark Siderits's most
important essays on Buddhist philosophy. Together they cover a wide
range of topics, from metaphysics, logic, philosophy of language,
epistemology, and ethics, to the specific discussions of the
interaction between Buddhist and classical Indian philosophy. Each
of the essays is followed by a postscript that Siderits has written
specifically for this volume. The postscripts connect essays of the
volume with each other, show thematic interrelations, and locate
them relative to the development of Siderits's thought. In
addition, they provide the opportunity to bring the discussion of
the essays up to date by acquainting the reader with the
development of research in the field since the publication of the
essays. Siderits's work is based on an investigation of Indian
sources in their original language, nevertheless the focus of the
essays is primarily systematic, not historical or philological. The
idea of 'fusion philosophy' (a term coined by Siderits) embodies
precisely the assumption that by bringing a Western and an Eastern
tradition together, both can benefit by learning from each other
about new ways of tackling old philosophical problems.
