Throughout the centuries, moral philosophers, both Eastern and Western, considered a permanent and eternal law a necessary requirement for the formulation of a moral principle. If such a law was not empirically given, it had to be determined through reason. In contrast, early Buddhism presented a radical theory of impermanence. Interpreters of early Buddhism have been unable to abandon the presupposition of permanence, however, and hence have persisted in viewing nirvana or freedom as a permanent and eternal state to be contrasted with the impermanent world of sensory experience and bondage. Ethics in Early Buddhism is David J. Kalupahana's balanced and brilliantly concise attempt to place the early Buddhist descriptions of the world of experience, the state of freedom, and the moral principle leading to such freedom within the framework of impermanence.

Graham Priest presents an exploration of the development of Buddhist metaphysics, which is viewed through the lens of the catuṣkotị. In its earliest and simplest form, this is a logical/ metaphysical principle which says that every claim is true, false, both, or neither; but Priest shows how the principle itself evolves, assuming new forms, as the metaphysics develops, and how the resources of non-classical logic allow us to understand it.All matters are explained with the aim of accessibility to those with no knowledge of Buddhist philosophy or contemporary non-classical logic.
