Description
Nāgārjuna's Madhyamaka: A Philosophical Introduction
This comprehensive survey presents the philosophy of Acarya Nagarjuna, the founder of the Madhyamaka school of Mahayana Buddhism. Nagarjuna's key contribution to Buddhist thought lies in his concept of sunyata or "emptiness," which posits that all phenomena lack any underlying substance.
Jan Westerhoff offers a systematic account of Nagarjuna's philosophical position, exploring metaphysics, epistemology, the self, language, and truth. The book provides a unified theory of reality with considerable systematic appeal, shedding light on the connections between Indian and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and European thought.
