About this book

Empty Words: Buddhist Philosophy and Cross-Cultural Interpretation by Garfield, Jay L.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780195146721.

This volume collects Jay Garfields essays on Madhyamaka, Yog-ac-ara, Buddhist ethics and cross-cultural hermeneutics. The first part addresses Madhyamaka, supplementing Garfields translation of Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way (OUP, 1995), a foundational philosophical text by the Buddhist saint Nagarjuna. Garfield then considers the work of philosophical rivals, and sheds important light on the relation of Nagarjunas views to other Buddhist and non-Buddhist philosophical positions.
