VAIDALYAPRAKARANA: Refutation of Logic
by Nagarjuna: Tola, tr.
ZIB MO RNAM PAR HTHAG PA ZES BYA BAHI RAB TU BYED PA
The Vaidalyaprakarana belongs to the Madyamika school of Buddhist Philosophy and is attributed to Nagarjuna; it is an important treatise of polemical character directed against the Naiyayikas. Its aim is to demonstrate the logical impossibility of the existence of the Nyaya categories or padarthas as enumerated and dealt with in Gautama's Nyayasutra and Vatsyayana's Bhasya thereof. It belongs to the Indian philosophical tradition which did not admit the pramanas as valid means of knowledge and which thereby could be called the "agnostic tradition".

STUDIES IN THE MIDDLE WAY: Being Thoughts on Buddhism Applied
by Christmas Humphreys
This work sets out to emphasize the inner life as a constant moving on and the mover as a pilgrim travelling along an ancient Way. This Way to ultimate Reality was called by Gautama the Buddha the Middle Way, the path between the introverted life of contemplation and the extrovert life of action in the world of men. Whilst this book as a whole is of no one school of Buddhism, it aims towards an understanding and also an application of Buddhist principles in Western Society, and a means whereby that Way may be traversed.

ON VOIDNESS: A Study on Buddhist Nihilism
by Fernando Tola, Carmen Dragonetti
The Buddhist school of Madhyamika is one of the most important philosophical schools in India. It was founded by the great thinker Nagarjuna in the second century A.D. His doctrine is centered around the concept of "Sunyata" or "Voidness" which metaphorically designates the absolute inexistence of an own being, i.e. of any substance existing.
The present edition contains four fundamental texts of that school, three by Nagarjuna and one by his disciple Aryadeva. Among the selected texts there is the famous Catuhstava. They give a clear idea of the essential ideas of Nagarjuna and his school. The book presents the texts in their original versions (Sanskrit or Tibetan) with their English translations and several doctrinary studies.
