Buddhist Thought in India
Conze was a great scholar. His translations, especially of the Prajna literature (see Topic 9, Emptiness Teachings), remain standard after more than forty years. This book is his classical discussion of the basics of Buddhist psychology and philosophy. The reader must be patient with his quirky and supercilious style, which is great fun once you get used to it.
