Nāgārjuna (c. 150 – c. 250 CE) was an Indian Buddhist monk and philosopher, regarded as the founder of the Madhyamaka (Middle Way) school of Mahāyāna Buddhism.
His most famous work, Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (Root Verses on the Middle Way), presents the concept of śūnyatā (emptiness) and the two truths doctrine, emphasizing dependent origination and rejecting inherent existence.
Nāgārjuna’s philosophy has profoundly influenced Mahāyāna thought and continues to shape Buddhist studies and practice today.
