ABOUT THE BOOK : The book is celebrated for providing a comprehensive English translation of Nagarjuna's foundational chapters on causality and Nirvana, alongside Chandrakirti's commentary. Stcherbatsky analyzes the Mahayana Buddhist dialectic, comparing Nagarjuna's metaphysical system—which views reality as entirely relative and devoid of independent existence (Sunyata)—to the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant
