Empty Logic_ Midhyamika Buddhism from Chinese Sources

Abstract

There has been a growing interest in Buddhist thought among Western scholars, especially in the philosophical teachings of the Madhyamika. In this book Prof. Cheng deals with its principle doctrines, its philosophy and its influence on Zen Buddhism. Madhyamika Buddhism was founded by Nagarjuna in India in the second century A.d. It is considered to be "the most important outcome of Buddha's teaching" and "philosophical Buddhism par excellence".
