This procedure is in fact the essence of Madhyamaka dialectic. See Murti, Central Philosophy of Buddhism, 146–48. For it is when all the ontological extremes are negated that one enters into suchness, the ultimate nature of things beyond all negation and affirmation. Things are primordially unborn and yet they appear: from the very beginning, the inseparability of their emptiness and dependent arising is their ultimate nature.

Madhyamaka - Along with Yogācāra, it is one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Nāgārjuna around the second century CE, it is rooted in the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, though its initial exposition was presented in Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā.
