  <abstract>The book examines Nāgārjuna’s Madhyamaka philosophy, especially emptiness (śūnyatā), the abandonment of fixed views, and the relationship between Buddhist philosophy, religion, and ethics. Stepien argues that Nāgārjuna’s teaching is not merely about metaphysics or emptiness; it also has a strong ethical dimension grounded in compassion and care for living beings.</abstract>
