Description

Nagarjuna's philosophical works are central to Mahayana Buddhism, and his concept of "emptiness" has had a profound impact on Buddhist thought. This collection brings together translations of his most important writings in plain English, along with commentaries and further reading. The texts presented here include the Fundamental Verses of the Middle Way, Overturning the Objections, and the philosophical portions of the Jewel Garland of Advice. These works showcase Nagarjuna's unique approach to understanding reality, which challenges conventional notions of existence and non-existence. The collection also includes summaries of three other important texts that are no longer extant in their original form. By exploring Nagarjuna's philosophy, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the Madhyamaka tradition and its significance in Buddhist thought. This edition provides a comprehensive introduction to Nagarjuna's ideas, making it accessible to anyone interested in Buddhism or philosophy.
