Motilal Banarsidass Publications Caste And Buddhist Philosophy by R Vincent Eltschinger
From the sixth to the eight century CE, the Buddhist philosophers paid considerable attention to the issue of the caste-classes. Far from seeking to reform the non-Buddhist social environment, they endeavoured to undermine theorectical attempts at "naturalizing" the social statuses, especially Kumarila's doctrine of the perceptibility of jati.
