INTRODUCTION TO MADHYAMAKA PHILOSOPHY
by Jaideva Singh
This brief introduction to Madhyamaka Philosophy gives a history of the rise and growth of Madhyamaka Philosophy, and the origin, structure, development and purpose of the Madhyamaka dialectic. It elucidates the distinction between Hinayana and Mahayana in respect of pratityasamutpada, nirvana, the ideal of religious discipline, the concept of Dharma, and the concept of Buddhology. It discusses the meaning of Sunya-Sunyata and its axiological and soteriological significance. Other important features of the present introduction are the clarification of the concepts of the Madhyama Pratipad, Samvrti and Paramartha Satya, Tathat, Dharmadhatu and Bhutakoti.

CANDRAKIRTI
by Cesare Rizzi
"The Author has studied with great care and ability the first chapter of Candrakirti's commentary on the Madhyamakakarika by the great master Nagarjuna, in order to make it more accessible and better known to English-speaking readers. Indeed, he sees the first chapter as being undoubtedly the most important of the whole work, due both to its intrinsic worth and because it makes it easier to understand the following twenty-six chapters."

THE CENTER OF THE SUNLIT SKY: Madhyamaka in the Kagyu Tradition
by Karl Brunnholzl
Madhyamaka is a potent and universally accessible means of calming our suffering and awakening to our innate wisdom. The Center of the Sunlit Sky artfully rescues this brilliant teaching from its unwarranted reputation for intellectual opacity and reinstates it as a supremely practical toolkit for everyday living.
The aim of this book is to take Madhyamaka out of the purely intellectual corner into which it -unjustly- gets boxed. It is an attempt to show Madhyamaka actually addresses and works with all of our experiences in life.

CENTRAL PHILOSOPHY OF BUDDHISM: A Study of Madhyamika System
by T.R.V. Murti
There is a class of scholars who are of the opinion that Buddhism in general, and Madhyamaka of Nagarjuna in particular, is not only deconstructionistic in orientation, but also nihilistic in content. How far this assertion is tenable or valid depends from what perspective we look at the Middle Way philosophy of Nagarjuna. While analysing the general orientation of Buddhist thought, Prof. Murti shows that Nagarjuna's philosophy, although deconstructionistic in its approach, is not at all nihilistic in orientation.

OPEN DOOR TO EMPTINESS: A Discussion of Madhyamaka Logic
by Thrangu Rinpoche
One of the most important concepts of Buddhism is the understanding of emptiness, or more precisely why all internal thoughts and feelings and also all external objects are empty. As Rinpoche explains, things do obviously appear to be solid and existent, but it can also be shown that they are empty of any inherent existence. If we do not understand the empty nature of phenomena, we really cannot thoroughly practice the reduction of attachment that we have with the phenomenal world.

DEPENDENT ARISING AND EMPTINESS: A Tibetan Buddhism Interpretation of Madhyamika Philosophy
by Elizabeth Napper
Emptiness and dependent-arising are two core concepts within Buddhism. An understanding of their integral relationship allows us to see how the Madhyamika school, the preeminent school of Buddhist philosophy in Tibet, can completely deny any inherent ontological status to the world around us while maintaining a valid presentation of reality based on ethical principles.
