Philosophy of the Buddha by Christopher Gowans
Philosophy of the Buddha is a philosophical introduction to the teaching of the Buddha. It carefully guides readers through the basic ideas and practices of the Buddha."The book is in fact an engaging and eminently readable overview of Buddhism using the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon in order to demonstrate 'that what the Buddha taught may be fruitfully understood and evaluated as a philosophy' Indeed, this is one of the few and in my view the best, philosophical treatments of Buddhism by a Western philosopher." -- Peter Vernezze, Weber State University, Ancient Philosophy
