ABSTRACT
The paper focuses on Nāgārjuna, the founder of the middle way school of Mahāyāna Buddhism. It argues that while Nāgārjuna’s rejection of the notion of ontological independence is justified and correct, his philosophical project is incomplete. This stems from the fact that Nāgārjuna’s rejection of the Abhidharma conception of time is not supplemented with the development of an alternative. The paper insists that Nāgārjuna’s endorsement of the doctrine of impermanence without first developing a non-foundationalist conception of time is indefensible. The paper concludes by offering a description of the nature of time which, it submits, will complete the Madhyamaka project.

Nāgārjuna和时间的概念
摘要
这篇论文的重点是玛哈亚那佛教中间派的创始人纳格拉祖纳(Nāgārjuna)。它认为,尽管纳格拉朱纳对本体论独立性概念的拒绝是合理和正确的,但他的哲学计划却是不完整的。这源于这样一个事实,即纳贾尔纳对阿毗达磨的时间观念的拒绝并没有得到另一种选择的补充。该论文坚持认为,纳加尔纳在没有先发展非基础主义的时间观念之前就认可无常论的观点是无可辩驳的。本文最后提供了对时间性质的描述,并认为该时间将完成Madhyamaka项目。
