Emptiness Appraised pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Explains and assesses Nagarjuna's philosophy of emptiness (sunyata). Emptiness means that all entities are empty of, they lack, inherent existence. Entities have a merely conceptually constructed existence. The popular interpretation of Nagarjuna's philosophy as a form of scepticism is examined and refuted. Burton explains, and points out the textual and philosophical weaknesses of, the influential interpretation that Nagarjuna advocates a trans-rational gnosis of an unconceptualisable reality, offering an alternative reading of the notion of non-conceptual experience in Nagarjuna's philosophy. Though Nagarjuna advocates the Middle Way between nihilism and eternalism, his philosophy of emptiness nevertheless entails nihilism, as Nagarjunaas opponents contended. This is a careful and original contribution to the scholarship on Nagarjuna's philosophy. Unlike many books about Nagarjuna, this is a philosophical appraisal, and not simply an explication, of Nagarjuna's thought.
