The Moon Points Back

This volume is a successor to Pointing at the Moon, which collects essays directed specifically at the interface of contemporary logic and analytic philosophy and Buddhist philosophy. That volume addresses a wide range of topics at this interface, deploying a common analytic methodology. The present volume, many of whose contributors also contributed to the previous volume, focuses more specifically on the Buddhist concept of emptiness - primarily, though not exclusively as it is deployed in the Madhyamaka tradition - exploring its implications for contemporary philosophy and the ways that contemporary philosophy can illuminate classical texts and problems in the Buddhist tradition.
