The past few months have been quite difficult, and so I haven't been able to post much. But I think I'll be able to post more information about events and publications in the upcoming weeks. Right now, I've just found out about the following intriguing talk, by Eli Franco (Senior Research Fellow at the Maimonides Centre For Advanced Studies):
Title: “Buddhism and Skepticism.”
Abstract: Buddhist philosophy, and especially Nāgārjuna’s Madhyamaka, has often been interpreted as professing Skepticism with strong affinities to Pyrrhonism (e.g., by Grenier 1970, McEviley 1982, Matilal 1986, Hayes 1994, Burton 2004, Kuzminski 2007, 2020, Dreyfus 2011, Garfield 2011, Mills 2016, 2018, 2020 and others). I will argue in this lecture that this interpretation is, at least partly, based on a misunderstanding of Nāgārjuna’s dialectic.
The event, hosted by the Numata Center for Buddhist Studies of Universität Hamburg, will take place on Zoom. If you want to attend, you need to register via Eventbrite.
