DOES A TABLE HAVE BUDDHA-NATURE?

CONTRADICTION; MADHYAMIKA (Buddhism); DIALETHEISM; NAGARJUNA, fl. 2nd century; BUDDHISM

The author comments on the context of the article "The Way of the Dialetheist: Contradictions in Buddhism" by Yasuo Deguchi, Jay Garfield, and Graham Priest, particularly on the Buddhist tradition contradictions in the case of Madhyamaka of the Mulamadhyamakakarika of Nagarjuna (MMK). The author argues that the notions of emptiness of philosopher Nagarjuna and his fellow Madhyamika reject contradiction. He stresses the importance of textual exegesis as a component in the investigation.
