The main purpose of this paper is to argue that Hegel and Nagarjuna based their respective criticisms of general metaphysics on concordant views. If general metaphysics insists on positing something `infinite', qualitatively different from finite things, and takes it to be the only object worth pursuing, then such a view would hardly escape the criticisms set forth by Hegel and Nagarjuna. In the light of the principles - becoming and dependent arising - upheld by both of them, the so-called true relationship between the finite and the infinite must be both unitary and divergent. Thus, the dichotomy between finitude and infinitude affirmed by general metaphysics does not accord with facts.
