This is an automatically translated description

This book is the first fundamental study of Buddhist philosophy in Ukraine. At the same time, it is the first attempt of its kind to study Buddhism not as a colourful variety of doctrines of individual schools and trends, but as a living, internally coherent philosophical and religious doctrine that emerges on the basis of a philosophy common to all its trends - the philosophy of emptiness. This approach makes it possible to see the inseparability of the ideas of the Buddhist tradition: from the schools of early Buddhism in India to medieval Zen Buddhism in Japan. On the other hand, "looking through the void" provides a key to understanding the widest range of philosophical problems of Buddhist ontology, epistemology, ethics, and philosophy of language.

The book also includes translations of three Buddhist sutras: The Little Sutra on Emptiness (Chula Sunyata Sutta), The Heart Sutra (Gridaya Sutra), and The Diamond Sutra (Vajrachchhedika Prajnaparamita Sutra).

For scholars, teachers, graduate students, students and anyone interested in Buddhism and Eastern philosophical thought.
