The Principle of Four-Cornered Negation in Indian Philosophy
Review of Metaphysics 7 (4):694 - 713 (1954)
Abstract
Those philosophers who gave a negative answer to all four questions were called "eel-wrigglers" by the Buddhists. It was impossible to fix their position either for approval or for rejection. They would criticize any view, positive or negative, but would not themselves hold any. And it was difficult for a serious person to enter into any controversy with them.My notes
