摘要
In recent years, the ontological similarities between the foundations of quantum mechanics and the emptiness teachings in Madhyamika-Prasangika Buddhism of the Tibetan lineage have attracted some attention. After briefly reviewing this unlikely connection, I examine ideas encountered in condensed-matter physics that resonate with this view on emptiness. Focusing on the particle concept and emergence in condensed-matter physics, I highlight a qualitative correspondence to the major analytical approaches to emptiness. © Springer 2006.
