The '''Prasangika''' (Skt. ''Prāsaṅgika''; Tib. [[ཐལ་འགྱུར་པ་]], [[Wyl.]] ''thal 'gyur'') or 'Consequence' tradition is a subdivision of the [[Madhyamika]] school of philosophy. A defining feature of this approach is its use of consequentialist arguments (Skt. ''prasaṅga'') to establish the ultimate truth of [[emptiness]] beyond all conceptual elaboration. This approach was first explicitly formulated by the Indian scholar [[Buddhapalita]] and later elaborated upon and defended by [[Chandrakirti]]. 

==Definition==
In the [[Nyingma]] tradition of [[Mipham Rinpoche]] the Prasangika are defined as "followers of the Madhyamika who teach by emphasizing the [[uncategorized absolute]] that is free from all assertions".<ref>''dbu ma pa gang zhig rnam grangs ma yin pa'i don dam khas len kun bral rtsal du bton nas 'chad pa''</ref>
