The book aims（1）to elaborate the basic insights of Nagarjuna’s Middle Way perspective, which are emptiness, dependent co-arising and verbal designation.Then,derived from these insights, （2）to articulate three ways of thinking, which are non-dualistic view, relational view and processual view, （3）to analytically emphasize its relevance to the sociological way of seeing the world,（4）to transcend the fallacies of “either-or” ways of thinking, such as dualism, substantialism, and nihilism, （5）to examine the methodologies used in the social sciences in an attempt to transcend dualistic substantialism—methodological individualism versus methodological collectivism—I propose a relational-processual methodology,（6）to go beyond positivism, interpretism, relativism and nihilism using a relational-processual Middle Way perspective and Gadamerian hermeneutic approach,（7）to engage a Middle Way examination of the theory of society that transcends theoretical dichotomization, （8）to analyze the ontological make- up of the self and the social, and（9） to formulate a Middle Way reading strategy, which comprises symptomatic, sympathetic and synthetic reading simultaneously. |
