摘要

Devising means of expressing nothingness comprises a significant part of global history of ideas. Though representing nothingness is having an underlying oxymoronic tone, the concept of śūnya or nirākāra can still be considered as one of the primordial archetypes of human thought process which continued to express itself in different ways in mathematics, philosophy as well as in different psycho-somatic meditative variants.  Here we will give a brief outline of the development of understanding of śūnya in different Indian traditions and the ways one can be engaged today with these from modern logical and empirical perspective.
