%X The text is divided into two parts. The first part is a reconstruction of the main issues of Madhyamaka philosophy present in Nāgārjuna’s Hymn to the Unthinkable One (Acintyastava). Particular emphasis is placed on issues that were not explicit in Nāgārjuna’s treatises. The most important one is the thetic moment of our experience, which is expressed by the term “obsession with reification” (bhāva-graha-grahāveśa). This is a natural tendency to attribute real existence to objects of consciousness, i.e. the tendency to hypostasize them (samāropa). The second part of the text is a translation of the Hymn of the Unthinkable One.
