The Tetralema: Four Alternative Positions

Nagarjuna's philosophy is centered around the Tetralema, which presents four alternative positions on a given topic. These positions are: everything is such as it is, not such as it is, both such as it is and not such as it is, and neither such as it is nor not such as it is. This approach allows Nagarjuna to explore the nuance and complexity of philosophical questions beyond simple yes or no answers.
