Any recommended reading on the problems with Nagarjuna? Sorry if it’s on your blog already. Couldn’t find it.

Yes, I haven’t written about this… and I don’t know of any good overview treatment. To get a grip on it you have to wade through the history of reinterpretations (which I’ve done only to a limited extent myself).

Or, you could read Nagarjuna skeptically and keep asking “does this really make sense? do I believe it? what would the world have to be like for that to be so? is it like that? does this argument hold water, or is he talking nonsense?”

The tricky thing is to try to extract *some* value rather than throwing the whole thing away. And there’s no good guide to where to find the value, or how to locate it amidst the blather, imo.
