| Summary: | The paper taps the agency of the imaginary interlocutor in the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā of Nāgārjuna to delineate existential anguish in the Madhyamaka. The paper asks whether the protestations of the imaginary interlocutor cannot be recast as anguished. It claims that an objection to emptiness (śūnyatā) can be voiced even after the metaphysical commitment to intrinsic existence (svabhāva) has been relinquished. By interpolating anguish into the Madhyamaka, the paper posits an unorthodox phenomenological objection to śūnyatā. |
