Answer:

2. Catuṣkoṭi

Step-by-step explanation:

Nagarjuna was an Indian thinker and a Buddhist philosopher who founded the Madhyamaka school of Mahayana Buddhism. He was born to a family of the Brahmin class in Hinduism but later on, he became a Buddhist.

He relied on the logical argument called "Catuṣkoṭi," which tackled on 4 corners or circles:

  • "A"
  • "not A"
  • "A and not A"
  • "not A and not not A"

It became a way of learning and investigating. It also had a huge impact on the Buddhist logic.
