| Abstract | The Buddhist concept of 'sunyata' or emptiness has something to contribute to contemporary Western neopragmatism and textualism. Textualism，the notion that knowledge is always relative to a particular standpoint，has recently emerged as a consensual basis for neopragmatism. The concept of 'sunyata' is not nihilistic as has been charged，but offers a sense of higher truth without absolutism that makes it useful in interpreting the idea of openness in the incommensurability thesis of neopragmatism. 'Sunyata' preserves a concept of rationality that operates outside of or across any relative conceptual categories. |
