Recenzje

James Reich's study of the debate at the center of medieval Kashmiri philosophical aesthetics is an invaluable addition to the literature. It shows with exceptional clarity the complex argumentation inside two philosophical schools that sought to ground aesthetic philosophy in two different theologies; which reveals the grandeur and range of medieval Kashmiri philosophy. This will be an indispensable guide for those who, without being Sanskritists, wish to understand and make use of the immense diversity and subtlety of Kashmiri theories in philosophical aesthetics.
