Nagarjuna's literary works are defined by the concepts of emptiness (Śūnyatā) and the Middle Way. His philosophy challenges intrinsic existence and emphasizes the interconnectedness of all phenomena, advocating for a non-dualistic perspective. Through his writings, such as the "Mūlampra" and "Seventy Stanzas," he articulates the importance of critical thought in understanding reality and achieving liberation from suffering. Nagarjuna's ideas significantly shaped Mahayana Buddhism, encouraging a reevaluation of perception, and embracing the principles of compassion and insight. His influence continues to resonate in contemporary Buddhist thought, as well as in philosophical discussions.
