Question

This philosopher refuted the doctrine of “Personalism” by arguing that fire cannot be different from its fuel, since they do not “reach” for each other like a man and a woman. This philosopher also argued that a lamp cannot illuminate itself because there is no darkness present where a lamp is. This philosopher revived a paradoxical argument called the “tetralemma,” (15[3])which can be summarized (15[1]-5[1])as “Not A, (-5[1])Not B, (15[2])Not ‘A (15[1])and B’, (15[1])Neither A Nor B.” (15[2])Some (*) Western (-5[1])scholars have interpreted this philosopher (10[2])along Kantian lines for (10[1])propounding the “two truths” doctrine. (10[4])This philosopher’s argument that (-5[1])all dharmas lacked “substance,” (10[2])or svabhava (10[1])(svuh-BAH-vuh), became the central idea of his (10[1])Madhyamaka (10[2])(MUH-dyuh-muh-kuh) (10[1])school. For 10 points, name this Buddhist philosopher famous for his theory of sunyatta, (10[1])or (10[2]0[1])“emptiness.” ■END■ (10[1])
