Summary

The Reason Sixtyis the most concise philosophical work by the second-century Indian Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna. Along with the acclaimed Reason Sixty Commentary by the seventh-century Centrist master Candrakirti, it is frequently cited by Centrist ( Madhyamaka) commentators and is a key text of the Tibetan philosophical curriculum. This heavily annotated translation is accompanied by detailed introductory essays, critical Tibetan editions, trilingual and technical glossaries, timelines, bibliography, and index.
