Nagarjunas Madfiyamaka
The Indian philosopher Acarya Nagarjuna (c. 150-250 A.D.) was the founder of the
Madhyamaka (Middle Path) school of Mahayana Buddhism and arguably the most
influential Buddhist thinker after Buddha himself. Indeed, in the Tibetan and East
Asian traditions, Nagarjuna is often referred to as the “second Buddha.”
This book presents a survey of the whole of Nagarjunas philosophy based on his
key philosophical writings. His primary contribution to Buddhist thought lies in the
further development of the concept of sunyata or ‘emptiness.” For Nagarjuna, all phenomena are
without any svabhava, literally “own-nature” or “self-nature,” and thus without any underlying
substance. Particular emphasis is put on discussing Nagarjunas thinking as philosophy. The, pres-
ent discussion shows how his thoughts on metaphysics, epistemology, the self, language, and
truth present a unified theory of reality with considerable systematic appeal.
Jan Westerhoff offers a systematic account of Nagarjunas philosophical position. He reads
Nagarjuna in his own philosophical context, but he does not hesitate to show that the issues of
Indian and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy have at least family resemblances to issues in European
philosophy. This fascinating and much-needed analysis of one of India’s most important philoso-
phers is sure to interest and enlighten students of Buddhism and the European tradition alike.
