Emptiness appraised: a critical study of Nāgārjuna's philosophy
Richmond, Surrey, England: Curzon (1999)
Abstract
Emptiness means that all entities are empty of, or lack, inherent existence - entities have a merely conceptual, constructed existence. Though Nagarjuna advocates the Middle Way, his philosophy of emptiness nevertheless entails nihilism, and his critiques of the Nyaya theory of knowledge are shown to be unconvincing.
