GENEALOGÍA DE LA VACUIDAD.

- Abstract
This article traces the genealogy of the concept of emptiness, from its appearance in the origins of Buddhist discourse (in the literature of the nikāyas and the agama) until the second century CE, when the philosopher-monk Nagarjuna takes it up and makes it the center of the philosophy of early madhyamaka. The article concludes by examining how this school of philosophy understood the relations between the monk and his ideas, and by connecting this old theme of Buddhist scholastics with some contemporary questions about the language of philosophy and the philosophy of language.
