This book argues that though Nagarjuna advocates the Middle Way between nihilism and eternalism, his philosophy of emptiness neverthless entails nihilism. Burton also refutes the interpretation that Nagarjuna is a sceptic, and examines Nagarjuna’s notion of non-conceptual knowledge of reality. In addition, Nagarjuna’s critiques of the Nyaya theory of knowledge (pramana) are critically scrutinised.
