The Answer is:
Nagrjuna (about 150-250 CE) is widely regarded as the most important Buddhist philosopher after the real Buddha himself, as well as one of the most innovative and influential philosophers in Indian philosophy history.
- His philosophy of the "middle way" (Madhyamaka), based on the central concept of "emptiness" (nyat), influenced Indian philosophical debate for a thousand years after his death; as Buddhism spread to Tibet, China, Japan, and other Asian countries, Nagarjuna's writings became an indispensable point of reference for their own philosophical inquiries.
- A particular interpretation of Nagarjuna's theory, known as Pragika-Madhyamaka, became the official philosophical viewpoint of Tibetan Buddhism, which sees it as the apex of philosophical complexity up to the current day.
- The concept of emptiness (nyat) serves as the foundation for all of Nagarjuna's philosophy. Of course, emptiness is always the emptiness of something, and the something Nagarjuna has in mind here is svabhva.
- This word has been translated into English using a variety of terms: "inherent existence" and "intrinsic nature" appear to be the most popular, but "substance" and "essence" have also been offered.
