Opis

This is the first book fully dedicated to Indian philosophical doxography. It looks at Indian doxography both as a witness of inter and intra sectarian dialogues, and as a religious phenomenon.

Recenzje

"[This book] puts forward an innovative and attractive argument that the Indian doxographies he studies are not "objective" summaries of different contemporary Indian schools nor simply mnemonic forms for learning about and ranking one's opponents, but are rather pedagogical devices intended to draw the pupil towards an understanding of reality which surpasses conceptual formulations."

-Jacqueline G. Suthren Hirst,Journal of Dharma Studies
