A variety of crucial and still most relevant ideas about
nothingness or emptiness have gained profound philosophical
prominence in the history and development of a number of South and
East Asian traditions-including in Buddhism, Daoism,
Neo-Confucianism, Hinduism, Korean philosophy, and the Japanese
Kyoto School. These traditions share the insight that in order to
explain both the great mysteries and mundane facts about our
experience, ideas of "nothingness" must play a primary role. This
collection of essays brings together the work of twenty of the
world's prominent scholars of Hindu, Buddhist, Daoist,
Neo-Confucian, Japanese and Korean thought to illuminate
fascinating philosophical conceptualizations of "nothingness" in
both classical and modern Asian traditions. The unique collection
offers new work from accomplished scholars and provides a coherent,
panoramic view of the most significant ways that "nothingness"
plays crucial roles in Asian philosophy. It includes both
traditional and contemporary formulations, sometimes putting Asian
traditions into dialogue with one another and sometimes with
classical and modern Western thought. The result is a book of
immense value for students and researchers in Asian and comparative
philosophy.
