This volume is the second installment in the Encyclopaedia’s chronological study of Buddhist philosophy. Continuing from Volume VII, it examines the development of Buddhist philosophical thought from approximately A.D. 100 to 350, a complex period that remains the subject of considerable scholarly discussion.

The work summarizes texts of philosophical, theoretical and expository importance, allowing readers to follow the historical development of Buddhist ideas without imposing artificial divisions upon the tradition. It draws upon specialized scholarship to present a consistent account while acknowledging areas in which interpretations remain disputed.

Designed as a scholarly reference, the volume provides an important resource for researchers, students, libraries and teachers studying Buddhist philosophy and the broader history of Indian thought.
