Graham Priest explores the development of Buddhist metaphysics, which is viewed through the lens of the catu¿köi. In its earliest and simplest form this is a logical/metaphysical principle which says that every claim is true, false, both, or neither; but Priest shows how the principle itself evolves as the metaphysics develops.

Zusammenfassung

Graham Priest explores the development of Buddhist metaphysics, which is viewed through the lens of the catu?ko?i. In its earliest and simplest form this is a logical/metaphysical principle which says that every claim is true, false, both, or neither; but Priest shows how the principle itself evolves as the metaphysics develops.

Zusatztext

The book might remind readers of [Priest's] landmark 2002 Beyond the Limits of Thought; even though the historical and conceptual scope in the present volume is narrower, many of the key features are still there. The general project Priest pursues in this book strikes me as very important. I therefore hope that his book will inspire many enthusiastic successors.
