Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Sarvadarsanasamgraha is one of the few Sanskrit texts that attempts to give an exhaustive overview of all schools of Sanskrit philosophy. It was composed in the fourteenth century in the south of India but had to wait until the nineteenth century to be rediscovered by modern scholarship. It then influenced the first presentations of Indian philosophy but was subse-quently largely ignored by academic scholarship. This explains that a number of misunder-standings about this text could arise and be kept alive. The present volume deal with a number of these. It also addresses other questions that an in-depth study of the text gives rise to.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Karma has become a household word in the modern world, where it is associated with the belief in rebirth determined by ones deeds in earlier lives. This belief was and is widespread in the Indian subcontinent as is the word karma itself. In lucid and accessible prose, this book presents karma in its historical, cultural, and religious context.Initially, karma manifested itself in a number of religious movements?most notably Jainism and Buddhism?and was subsequently absorbed into Brahmanism in spite of opposition until the end of the first millennium C.E. Philosophers of all three traditions were confronted with the challenge of explaining by what process rebirth and karmic retribution take place. Some took the drastic step of accepting the participation of a supreme god who acted as a cosmic accountant, others of opting for radical idealism. The doctrine of karma was confronted with alternative explanations of human destiny, among them the belief in the transfer of merit. It also had to accommodate itself to devotional movements that exerted a major influence on Indian religions.The book concludes with some general reflections on the significance of rebirth and karmic retribution, drawing attention to similarities between early Christian and Indian ascetical practices and philosophical notions that in India draw their inspiration from the doctrine of karma. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book argues that the origins of Indian philosophy should not be traced to the Vedic Upanisads. Instead, various non-Brahmanical movements developed philosophical ideas that later influenced Brahmanism. The different strands of thought that contributed to this historical evolution-where non-Vedic elements played a predominant role-are identified and analyzed in detail. The book concludes by examining the Vedic response to these developments, which gradually gained prominence over time.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Language (abda) occupied a central yet often unacknowledged place in classical Indian philosophical thought. Foundational thinkers considered topics such as the nature of language, its relationship to reality, The nature and existence of linguistic units and their capacity to convey meaning, and the role of language in the interpretation of sacred writings. The first reader on language in and the language classical Indian philosophy, a abda reader offers a comprehensive and pedagogically valuable treatment of this topic and its importance to Indian philosophical thought. A abda reader brings together newly translated passages by authors from a variety of traditions brahmin, Buddhist, representing a number of schools of thought. It illuminates issues such as how brahmanical thinkers understood the Veda and conceived of Sanskrit; how Buddhist thinkers came to assign importance to language link to phenomenal reality; how Jains saw language as strictly material; the possibility of self-contradictory sentences; and how words affect thought. Throughout, the volume shows that linguistic presuppositions and implicit notions about Language often play as significant a role as explicit ideas and formal theories. Including an introduction that places the texts and ideas in their historical and cultural context, a abda reader sheds light on a crucial aspect of classical Indian thought and in so doing deepens our understanding of the philosophy of language.
