D.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e​This book explores ‘nothingness’, the \u003ci\u003enegative way\u003c\/i\u003e found in Buddhist and Christian traditions, with a focused and comparative approach. It examines the works of Nagarjuna (c. 150 CE), a Buddhist monk, philosopher and one of the greatest thinkers of classical India, and those of John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Carmelite monk, outstanding Spanish poet, and one of the greatest mystical theologians. The conception of nothingness in both the thinkers points to a paradox of linguistic transcendence and provides a novel insight into via negativa. This is the first full-length work comparing nothingness (emptiness) in Nagarjuna (Mahayana Buddhism) and John of the Cross (Christianity) in any language. It augments the comparative approach found in Buddhist-Christian comparative philosophy and theology.  This book is of especial interest to academics of Buddhist and Christian studies searching for avenues for intellectual dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-06-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9788132238775\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-81-322-3646-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 181\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44479062212748,"sku":"9788132238775","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9788132238775.jpg?v=1776530675","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9788132238775","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
