| A shorter and less technical treatment of its subject than the authorâ s acclaimed Buddhism As Philosophy (second edition, Hackett, 2021), Mark Siderits's The Buddhaâ s Teachings As Philosophy explores three different systems of thought that arose from core claims of the Buddha. By detailing and critically examining key arguments made by the Buddha and developed by later Buddhist philosophers, Siderits investigates the Buddha's teachings as philosophy: a set of claimsâ in this case, claims about the nature of the world and our place in itâ supported by rational argumentation and, here, developed with a variety of systematic results. The Buddhaâ s Teachings As Philosophy will be especially useful to students of philosophy, religious studies, and comparative religionâ to anyone, in fact, encountering Buddhist philosophy for the first time. |

"The philosopher Vasubandhu described the Buddha's teaching as an immaculate path of reasons. There are few who know every twist and turn of this path as well as Mark Siderits, and this book is the perfect guide for those starting out on their way." —Sonam Kachru, University of Virginia

"This intriguing yet accessible text critically examines Buddhist perspectives on central issues in metaphysics, ethics, and soteriology. It is an excellent choice for classes on Buddhist philosophy, non-Western philosophy, philosophy of religion, and introductions to philosophy." —Kris McDaniel, University of Notre Dame
