The Moon Points Back investigates central areas of Buddhist philosophy -- most importantly the notion of emptiness (sunyata) -- using the techniques of contemporary analytic philosophy and logic. The volume's approach allows for novel understandings and insights of these areas, showing how Buddhist philosophers can engage with debates in contemporary Western philosophy.
