This study analyzes the world of thought presented in the text, which is attributed to the age of Mauryan Emperor Asoka. The new edition includes an exhaustive introduction and a concluding chapter entitled "Threshold of Mahayana," which shows that its emergence was not accidental but was in the making for a long time.

The teachings of Lord Buddha were scrutinized a century after his demise, leading to diverse hypotheses to elucidate and harmonize them within Buddhist thought and the intellectual milieu of the times. The present study analyzes the world of thought presented in the Kathavatthu, an important canonical text on doctrinal controversies attributed to the age of Mauryan Emperor Asoka. This second edition of Cross Currents in Early Buddhism includes an exhaustive introduction and a concluding chapter titled "Threshold of Mahayana," which demonstrates that its emergence was not accidental but rather a long-term process reflected in the novel ideas put forth by dissident sects like Mahasanghikas and their sub-sects.
