What does Nagarjuna mean by emptiness, and why does he argue that dependence makes change and practice possible? This original English introduction examines the Middle Way through eighteen chapters on intrinsic nature, causation, personal identity, the two truths, knowledge, language, liberation, and compassion. Invented contemporary examples clarify the arguments without presenting them as ancient quotations. The book also examines a serious scholarly objection and includes a defined glossary and annotated reading notes.
