Jan Westerhoff is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Durham, United Kingdom.
"This is a marvelous book. It is the first analytical account of
N=ag=arjuna's philosophical system as a whole, and is rich in
philosophical insight and in scholarship. Westerhoff considers
N=ag=arjuna's entire philosophical corpus, as well as a vast array
of canonical Indian and Tibetan literature and modern scholarship.
His account of N=ag=arjuna's thought and of the literature that has
grown around it is philologically rigorous and philosophically
astute.
He sets N=ag=arjuna's concerns in the context of Indian Buddhist
philosophy and makes effective uses the resources of Western
philosophy to understand and to explicate his ideas. Essential
reading for anyone
interested in Buddhist philosophy."--Jay L Garfield, Doris Silbert
Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Philosophy, Smith
College, and author of Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way:
N=ag=arjuna's M=ulamadhyamakak=arik=a and Empty Words, translator

"...Westerhoff 's is a clear and cogent case for a philosophically
sophisticated reading of Madhyamaka"--Dan Arnold, University of
Chicago
