Organised in broadly chronological terms this book presents the philosophical arguments of the great Indian Buddhist philosophers of the fifth century BCE to the eighth century CE. Each chapter examines their core ethical metaphysical and epistemological views as well as the distinctive area of Buddhist ethics that we call today moral psychology. Throughout this book follows three key themes that both tie the tradition together and are the focus for most critical dialogue: the idea of anatman or no-self the appearance/reality distinction and the moral aim or ideal. Indian Buddhist philosophy is shown to be a remarkably rich tradition that deserves much wider engagement from European philosophy. Carpenter shows that while we should recognise the differences and distances between Indian and European philosophy its driving questions and key conceptions we must resist the temptation to find in Indian Buddhist philosophy some Other something foreign self-contained and quite detached from anything familiar. Indian Buddhism is shown to be a way of looking at the world that shares many of the features of European philosophy and considers themes central to philosophy understood in the European tradition.
