VG. dustwrapper. ¶ Volume II subtitled: "Containing a Translation of the Short Treatise of Logic by Dharmakirti, and of its Commentary by Dharmottara, with Notes, Appendices & Indices". "Buddhist logic reveals itself as the culminating points of a course of Indian philosophic history. Its birth, its growth and its decline run parallel with the birth, the growth and the decline of Indian civilisation. The time has come to reconsider the subject of Buddhist logic in its historical connections. This is done in these two volumes. This will enable the reader to appreciate fully the sometimes enormous distance which lies between the words of the Sanskrit phrasing and their philosophic meaning rendered according to our habits of thought. The notes also contain a philosophic comment of the translated texts. The first volume contains a historical sketch as well as synthetical reconstruction of the whole edifice of the final shape of Buddhist philosophy. The second volume contains the material as well as the justification for this reconstuction" - Publisher's description.
