| Opplysninger | "The Other Emptiness presents a new vision of the Buddhist history and philosophy of emptiness in Tibet. The Other Emptiness brings together for the first time a collection of seminal essays by leading international Tibetan studies scholars on the subject of zhentong or "other-emptiness." This book addresses important topics in the history, literature, and philosophy of emptiness that have contributed to zhentong thinking in Tibet from the thirteenth century until today. The contributors examine a wide range of views on zhentong from each of the major orders of Tibetan Buddhism, highlighting the key Tibetan thinkers in the zhentong philosophical tradition. Also discussed are the early formulations of buddhanature, interpretations of cosmic time, polemical debates about emptiness in Tibet, the zhentong view of contemplation, and creative innovations of thought in Tibetan Buddhism. Highly accessible and informative, this book can be used as a scholarly resource as well as a textbook for teaching graduate and undergraduate courses on Buddhist philosophy"-- Fra forlaget
