Peter Adamson: Filosofia India Clasica, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This valuable text presents one of the world's richest and most profound intellectual traditions: classical Indian philosophy. Peter Adamson and Jonardon Ganeri present the first thousand years, starting with texts as ancient as the Vedic scriptures and the Upanishads, then moving on to the study of the sūtras, as well as the development of Buddhism and Jainism, and concluding with the influence of Indian philosophy on traditions such as Greek and Islamic, thus assessing its impact on subsequent Western thought. This introduction to the history of Indian philosophy excels in guiding the reader, based on the sources themselves, through the variety and density of Indian arguments in all branches of philosophical endeavor. At the same time, it highlights its value for philosophical discussion in general, in relation to contemporary debates on consciousness, language, and right action, among many others.
