This volume fills that gap, focusing on \"nothing\"-essential to Buddhism, of course, but also a key concept in critical theory from Hegel and Marx through deconstruction, queer theory, and contemporary speculative philosophy. Through an elaboration of emptiness in both critical and Buddhist traditions; an examination of the problem of praxis in Buddhism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis; and an explication of a \"Buddhaphobia\" that is rooted in modern anxieties about nothingness, \u003ci\u003eNothing\u003c\/i\u003e opens up new spaces in which the radical cores of Buddhism and critical theory are renewed and revealed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarcus Boon \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of English at York University in Toronto. \u003cb\u003eEric Cazdyn\u003c\/b\u003e is the Distinguished Professor of Aesthetics and Politics at the University of Toronto\u003cb\u003e.
