In the philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism, specifically in the Madhyamaka view, Svātantrika is a category of Madhyamaka viewpoints attributed primarily to the 6th century Indian scholar Bhāviveka. It is used in contrast with another such subcategory, Prāsaṅgika Madhyamaka.
The key distinction between these viewpoints is whether one works with assertions about the ultimate nature of reality, or if one refrains completely from doing so. If one works with assertions, then that is a Svātantrika approach. Refraining from doing so is a Prāsangika approach.
Besides the technical definitions, the styles of the different approaches are notable. Svatantrika style approaches have a more structured syllogistic form, making assertions with argumentation, whereas the Prasangika approach may make assertions, but with significantly less reasonings for those assertions. Instead they mainly point out errors resulting from taking reasonings to logical extremes.
The Prāsangika-Śvātantrika distinction represents a native Tibetan interpretation of Indian disputes among Nāgārjuna commentators
On August 26, 2014 at Padma Samye Ling during the 2014 PSL Shedra Philosophy Retreat on "The Radiant Light of Sun and Moon" by Ven. Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche, Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Rinpoche taught an overview of the Svatantrika and Prasangika Madhyamaka Schools, otherwise known as the Middle Way Autonomy School and the Middle Way Consequence School. At the beginning of this video, Khenpo Tsewang Rinpoche mentions Mipham Rinpoche and the Nyingma School's division of relative truth into 1. pure relative truth and 2. impure relative truth. Pure relative truth is how enlightened beings and bodhisattvas experience phenomena, and impure relative truth is how ordinary sentient beings perceive things. In the Nyingma tradition of Mipham Rinpoche, the Svatantrika are defined as "followers of M...
La escuela de Solo Mente interpreta El giro de la rueda del Dharma de la siguiente manera. Para ellos, la primera vuelta de la rueda del Dharma no es definitiva. La segunda vuelta de la rueda del Dharma, aunque su contenido es definitivo, lo cual es la vacuidad, sin embargo, este es un Sutra que no debe leerse a nivel literal. Debido a que en el nivel literal, la segunda vuelta de la rueda del Dharma, (los sutras de la Perfección de la Sabiduría) niega la existencia intrínseca en todos los ámbitos, desde la forma (en la lista de enumeración) hasta a la mente omnisciente del Buda. Cuando el Buda declara en el Sutra de la Perfección de la Sabiduría que todos los fenómenos carecen de existencia e identidad intrínseca, esta "no identidad" de los fenómenos se entiende contextualmente en relaci...

The Mdhyamika is considered to have two subschools, Svtantrika and Prsagika. The Prsagika school of Candrakrti is better known than Svtantrika, in part because the major Svtantrika texts are preserved only in Tibetan translation. The Svtantrikas, however, made important contributions to Buddhist philosophy in their expositions of the nature of reality, the role of reasoning in the process of enlightenment, and in their delineations of the paths to nirvana. The synthesis of Yogcra and Mdhyamika philosophy by the Svtantrika master ntarakita represents the final development of Buddhist thought in India. In Tibet,...
