Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper excavates the practice-oriented background and therapeutic significance of emptiness in the Madhyamaka philosophy attributed to Nāgārjuna and Sengzhao. Buddhist emptiness unravels experiential and linguistic reification through meditation and argumentation. The historical contexts and uses of the word indicate that it is primarily a practical diagnostic and therapeutic concept. Emptiness does not lead to further views or truths but, akin to yet distinct from Ajñāna and Pyrrhonian skepticism, the suspension of assertion. This sense of emptiness as a practice can be traced in the intercultural transmission of Madhyamaka from Nāgārjuna, its paradigmatic philosopher, to Sengzhao 僧肇, its first pivotal indigenous Chinese representative.
Nāgārjuna与僧照的空、否定与怀疑
摘要本文挖掘了Nāgārjuna和Sengzhao的空性哲学的实践背景和治疗意义。佛教的空性通过冥想和论证来揭示经验和语言的具体化。该词的历史语境和用法表明,它主要是一个实用的诊断和治疗概念。空虚不会导致进一步的观点或真理,但与Ajñāna和Pyrrhonian的怀疑论相似但又不同的是,断言的暂停。这种作为一种实践的空虚感可以追溯到Madhyamaka从其典范哲学家Nāgārjuna到Sengzhao的跨文化传播僧肇, 其第一位举足轻重的土著华人代表。
