SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The overall thesis of this dissertation may be summed up as the position that Mawlana Rum i and Nagarjuna both eschew any and all epistemological positions (beliefs) so as to abandon any and all ontological positionality (being). To this end, my argument is arranged into two chapters dealing respectively with these two authors.
