Kurzbeschreibung
Nagarjuna's Vigrahavyavartani is an essential work of Madhyamaka Buddhist philosophical literature. Written in an accessible question-and-answer style, it contains Nagarjuna's replies to criticisms of his philosophy of the "Middle Way." The Vigrahavyavartani has been widely cited both in canonical literature and in recent scholarship; it has remained a central text in India, Tibet, China, and Japan, and has attracted the interest of greater and greater numbers of Western readers. In The Dispeller of Disputes, Jan Westerhoff offers a clear new translation of the Vigrahavyavartani, taking current philological research and all available editions into account, and adding his own insightful philosophical commentary on the text. Crucial manuscript material has been discovered since the earlier translations were written, and Westerhoff draws on this material to produce a study reflecting the most up-to-date research on this text. In his nuanced and incisive commentary, he explains Nagarjuna's arguments, grounds them in historical and textual scholarship, and explicitly connects them to contemporary philosophical concerns.

I've read my fair share of books on Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy, mostly from the Indo-Tibetan tradition and this is by far one of the best. Professor Westerhoff not only makes a clear translation but has added his own philosophical commentary. It is not just a simple word commentary either. It is evident that he has put a lot of his own thought into this text. The conclusions professor Westerhoff comes to and his interpretations often struck me as impressive and left me thinking he is a cut above the rest in terms of philosophical analysis and thinking. There is a sharp mind at work here.
This is not just a book for those interested in Buddhist philosophy either. The insights of Nagarjuna are something anyone interested in philosophy should be familiar with. The closest comparison I can make is with Wittgenstein's thinking as found in the Philosophical Investigations and On Certainty. Not necessarily in terms of the conclusions reached as much as a similarity in method. Pointing out everyday examples to jolt our habitual ways of thinking. Just when you think you know how Nagarjuna is going to reply to a new dispute he surprises the reader with another ingenious argument.
If you enjoy books like Wittgenstein's PI where you feel you are being led through a maze of thinking by a highly original mind check this book out.
