| Summary |
"The Moon Points Back investigates central areas of Buddhist philosophy--most importantly the notion of emptiness (śunyatā)--applying the techniques of contemporary analytic philosophy and logic. This allows for novel understandings and insights of these areas, and shows how Buddhist philosophers can engage with debates in contemporary Western philosophy"-- Provided by publisher |
