- Title
A New Direction for Comparative Studies of Buddhists and Christians: Evidence from Nägärjuna and John of the Cross.
- Authors
Vélez de Cea, Abraham
- Abstract
The article examines the question of emptiness concept in Nagarjuna of whether it is comparable to the Christian via negative and apophatic path to God in John of the Cross. However, the author shifted his focus from comparative theology to comparative praxis. The author stressed the ethical dimension of emptiness in both thinkers and acted too much emphasis on corrective epistemology which determined in apophatic readings of this concept.
