Klappentext
What are the goals of the major Indian philosophers and what are the methods of rational inquiry used in their pursuit? Philosophy in Classical India is a much-needed introduction to the philosophical texts, traditions and arguments of Indian philosophy. Philosophical rather than mystical or religious in approach and assuming no prior knowledge of key texts, Jonardon Ganeri examines the following topics:
- the motive and method of rational inquiry: the early Nyya
- rationality, emptiness and the objective view: the philosophy of Ngrjuna's Madhyamaka Buddhism
- the rational basis of metaphysics: Vaieika metaphysics
- reduction, exclusion and rational reconstruction: the philosophy of Dinga's Yogcra Buddhism
- rationality, harmony and perspective: Jaina epistemology and metaphysics
- reason in equilibrium: Gägea's new Nyya
- balance and repost: public reason in Theravda Buddhism
- practical reasoning in Mms and the Dharmästra
This second edition has been substantially updated, with the addition of new chapters on Theravda and Mms.
All chapters and further reading have been updated to reflect changes in scholarship and the publication of new editions and translations of primary texts, making Philosophy in Classical India an ideal introduction to Indian philosophy from the perspective of analytical philosophy.
