Buddha Tarka Bhasa By Madhumita Chattapadhay

"Mokshkarogupta Birachita Bauddha-Tarkabhasha" edited by Madhumita Chattopadhyay presents a detailed study of Buddhist logical methodology and philosophical argumentation as developed by the medieval Buddhist philosopher Mokshkaragupta. This academic work explores the sophisticated logical frameworks developed within Buddhist philosophical traditions, examining how Buddhist thinkers approached questions of knowledge, reality, and inference. The text analyzes complex philosophical concepts including perception, inference, and logical fallacies within the Buddhist context. Key sections such as Prattyaksha (প্রত্যক্ষ), Swarthanum (স্বার্থানুমান), and Pararthanumanam (পরার্থানুমানম) provide detailed discussions on Buddhist epistemology and logic. Students exploring classical Indian philosophy will find this work particularly valuable for understanding the sophisticated logical traditions that developed within Buddhist philosophical schools and their contributions to Indian philosophical discourse.
