Dear colleagues,
chapters 1-5 were published by Horst Lasic, Xuezhu Li and Anne
MacDonald, on the basis of preparatory work by Helmut Krasser, in 2022;
the volume is available in Open Access (but of course also as a book):

Dear Jan,
Thank you for letting us know about this new book of yours.
Regarding the series it is published in, you say "These are meant
to be read alongside the texts themselves." Is there a particular
translation of the /Madhyamakāvat//ā//ra/ that you correlated
your book to? The several that I know of were all made from the
Tibetan translation, before the Sanskrit original was discovered
and its first six chapters were published. Thanks.
Best regards,

Dear Colleagues,
some of you might be interested in this new book of mine,
which has just
come out:
Candrakīrti's Introduction to the Middle Way. A Guide.
Oxford University Press 2024, 296 pages, ISBN: 9780197612347.

<https://global.oup.com/academic/product/candrakrtis-introduction-to-the-middle-way-9780197612347?cc=us&lang=en#>
This volume is part of the "Oxford Guides to Philosophy"
series, a set of
volumes introducing classical philosophical texts. These are
meant to be
read alongside the texts themselves; my commentary focuses on the
philosophical content of the text, using Candrakīrti's
auto-commentary as the main explicatory resource.
From the blurb:
Candrakīrti's Introduction to the Middle Way
(Madhyamakāvatāra) is a central work of Buddhist
philosophy for
two reasons. First, it provides an introduction to
Madhyamaka, one of the
three major philosophical schools of Buddhist thought (the
other two being
Abhidharma and Yogācāra). Second, within Madhyamaka,
Candrakīrti's text occupies a very prominent role. This
is primarily
due to its enormous influence in Tibet, where
Candrakīrti's work
became the main entry-point into the study of Madhyamaka
thought. While
the historical importance of the Introduction to the Middle
Way for
understanding a major section of Buddhist thought is evident,
what makes
it particularly interesting for students is the role it plays
as an
'introduction'. It is one of Candrakīrti's earlier works
and presents
a comprehensive guide to the key philosophical ideas and
problems of
Madhyamaka thought.
Best wishes
Jan Westerhoff
