Summary, etc. This book is a translation of the Kathāvatthu from Pali, the fifth book of the Abhidhamma Piṭaka, traditionally attributed to Moggaliputta Tissa, which records debates and discussions on various doctrinal points among early Buddhist schools. The work provides a detailed exploration of the Kathāvatthu, which addresses controversial topics such as the nature of the self, the existence of an eternal soul, and the interpretation of key Buddhist doctrines. The Kathāvatthu is structured into 23 books [chapters], each addressing a specific doctrinal controversy. Together, these books [chapters] provide a comprehensive understanding of the debates that shaped early Buddhist philosophy. The text contains the points of controversy according to the canonical order, the points of controversy grouped under subjects of discourse, the points of controversy grouped according to the dissentient Schools, prefatory notes by C. A. F. Rhys Davids.
