“Buddhist Logic. Volume One,” by F. Th. Stcherbatsky, published by Dover Publications in 1962, provides a historical and philosophical analysis of Buddhist logic. The book delves into the development of Buddhist logic within the broader context of Indian philosophy. It reconstructs the system of Buddhist logic, exploring its concepts and terminology, and includes detailed notes that clarify the relationship between Sanskrit phrasing and philosophical meaning.

This volume is part of a two-volume set that aims to reconsider Buddhist logic in its historical context. The first volume lays the groundwork by offering a historical sketch and a synthetic reconstruction of the complete structure of Buddhist philosophy as it existed in its final form. It also provides literary renderings and philosophical commentary on translated texts within the copious notes.

Key aspects of the book include:

• Historical Context: The book situates Buddhist logic within the larger history of Indian philosophy.

• Reconstruction of the System: It reconstructs the core principles and structure of Buddhist logic.

• Terminological Analysis: The notes explain the nuances of Sanskrit terminology and their philosophical implications.

• Philosophical Commentary: The notes offer interpretations and analyses of the translated texts.

“Buddhist Logic. Volume One” is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of Buddhist philosophy, particularly the formal logic and epistemology developed within that tradition.
