It examines the works of Nagarjuna (c. 150 CE), a Buddhist monk, philosopher and one of the greatest thinkers of classical India, and those of John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Carmelite monk, outstanding Spanish poet, and one of the greatest mystical theologians. The conception of nothingness in both the thinkers points to a paradox of linguistic transcendence and provides a novel insight into via negativa. This is the first full-length work comparing nothingness (emptiness) in Nagarjuna (Mahayana Buddhism) and John of the Cross (Christianity) in any language. It augments the comparative approach found in Buddhist-Christian comparative philosophy and theology. This book is of especial interest to academics of Buddhist and Christian studies searching for avenues for intellectual dialogue. 410 0$aSophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures,$x2211-1107 ;$v19 606 $aPhilosophy, Asian 606 $aReligions 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aNon-Western Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44060 606 $aComparative Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A1000 606 $aComparative Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000 615 0$aPhilosophy, Asian. 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 14$aNon-Western Philosophy. 615 24$aComparative Religion. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 676 $a181 700 $aSebastian$b C.
