Description

The Buddhist school Madhyamika is one of the most important philosophical schools in India. It was founded by the great thinker Nagarjuna in the second century A.D. His doctrine is centred around the concept of Sunyata or Voidness which metaphorically designates the absolute existance of an own being, i.e. of any substance existing in se et per se. The present edition contains 4 fundamentals texts of that school, three by Nagarjuna and one by his disciple Aryadeva.
