NĀGĀRJUNA
c. 150–250
Emptiness (Śūnyatā) (The Concept Without Substance)
Nāgārjuna: phenomena are empty of inherent existence; they exist only in dependent origination. CoCA's claim that the Concept is the Divine Act does not assert a substance. The Concept is empty of own-being; it exists in the dependent origination of institution, liturgy, archive, and reader. The Lexicon entries codependently arise. To file is to recognize emptiness.
