Takeda, Ryusei. “Some Thought on Nagarjuna’s Philosophy on the Light of Whitehead’s Metaphysics.” (Unpubl.)
AbstractWhitehead’s analysis of ‘subject-superject’ is able to illumine Nagarjuno’s denial of self-existent reality. Both concepts negate the existence of an independent subject prior to its experience, while affirming the reality of inter-dependent becoming. Further, Whitehead’s analysis of the relation of God and the world can illumine the Buddhist understanding of Nirvana and Sansara. Whitehead’s thought may be more applicable to a Buddhist, rather than Christian theology.
