*From the First Circular: *
Scholarly engagement with the Madhyamaka tradition has greatly intensified
in recent decades, in part due to the discovery of Sanskrit manuscripts of
seminal Indian Madhyamaka works as well as of previously unavailable
Tibetan scholastic treatises that chart the reception of pertinent Indian
Buddhist doctrines. The flurry of publications resulting from philological
and philosophical investigation of the texts significantly improves our
comprehension of the views of the Madhyamaka authors, their
self-understanding, and the reasons behind their responses to their
intellectual environments. Nevertheless, many issues remain unsolved, and
topics as fundamental as the Mādhyamikas’ final truth/reality continue to
be debated. The International Conference Madhyamaka in South Asia and
Beyond will bring together scholars to present and discuss their research
on all aspects of the Madhyamaka tradition from philological, historical
and/or philosophical perspectives. We invite papers dealing with topics
such as the school’s ontological views, its logical and epistemological
theories and their sources and integration, its soteriology,
historiography, evolution, and transmission, including interactions with
other Buddhist and non-Buddhist schools and traditions. Papers from the
broader intellectual landscape are also welcome.
