About the Book

This scholarly work by Aiswarya Biswas presents a comprehensive study of Nāgārjuna and his immense contribution to Buddhist philosophy. Based on extensive academic research, the book examines the life, works, and philosophical thought of Nāgārjuna, the founder of the Madhyamika School and one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Buddhism. Special attention is given to his seminal work, Mūlamadhyamaka-kārikā, and its relationship with the core teachings of the Buddha, particularly the doctrine of dependent origination (Pratītyasamutpāda).

The volume also explores the development of Buddhist philosophical traditions, the emergence of different Buddhist schools, and the unique place of Madhyamika philosophy within them. Written with academic depth and supported by historical and textual analysis, this book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in Buddhist studies, Indian philosophy, and intellectual history.
