Descripción
Sumario:The intention of this article is to show the contiguity between Nāgārjuna’s philosophy, known as the Middle Way, and the mystical experience. Through the analysis of the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, the implicit vacuity of the idea itself of emptiness will be referred to and arguments will be collected to demonstrate the paradox that encloses any expression about the reality of the world and things. Likewise, based on two translations of the founder of the Madhyamaka’s main works, one carried out by Abraham Vélez and the other by Juan Arnau, Nāgārjuna’s mystical and philosophical contributions are pointed out, its link to Buda’s teachings are emphasized, and some fundamental sketches about what could be denominated metaphilosophy are contributed.
