The Mādhyamika Buddhist Tradition and its Conception of Language

Abstract

The purpose of this text is to enter into the knowledge of the Buddhist mādhyamika tradition. Thus, our intention is to expose the most fundamental principles of this tradition, not only with the purpose of knowing the bases of it, but also with a view to carrying out an analysis on the conception of language that this Buddhist school has. It should be clarified that this text is supported, mainly, in the book The word in front of the void by the Spanish philosopher Juan Arnau, since this author, being a specialist in Eastern philosophy (Arnau, 2003), manages to explain clearly and in depth the issues on which our study is based.
