Abstract

Helping students or workshop participants radically expand their critical-thinking horizons beyond conventional dualistic bounds on the subject of gay marriage is difficult. The paradoxical logic of Nagarjuna’s tetralemma is one means to do so. They learn not only this new investigative tool and deepen their understanding of the perspectives surrounding gay marriage, but have to examine the degree to which they limit their own capacity to think.
