Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 2nd Edition. From the sixth to the eighth century CE, the Buddhist philosophers paid considerable attention to the issue of the caste-classes. Far from seeking to reform the non-Buddhist social environment, they endeavoured to undermine theoretical attempts at "naturalizing" the social statuses, especially Kumarila's doctrine of the perceptibility of jati. Significant parts of their critique is strongly indebted to earlier, mainly canonical arguments shaped in order to neutralize the Brahmins' pride in caste. But closer scrutiny also reveals the innovations that were made possible by the renewal of Buddhist semantics around the so-called apoha (exclusion) theory. Eltschinger's study presents the gist of the early Buddhist arguments, the modalities of their appropriation by later philosophers as well as the new developments induced by the epistemologists. The rigorous denial by the Buddha and his followers of the Brahmanic idea of castes as a natural fact is a well-known detail in the long history of the study of India's social structures and their ideological background. From early canonical texts to later philosophical literature, this denial is regularly attested. The author offers a detailed analysis of the arguments against the Brahmanic ìnaturalization of caste, as propounded by Dharmakirti (ca. 600 CE) and his successors up to Prajnakaragupta (ca. 800 CE), and in the process pays close attention to their historical context as exemplified by the writings of Aryadeva, Vasubandhu, Dharmapala, and Candrakirti. The first section provides a survey of the canonical material in relevant Pali Suttas and subsequent Avadana and Jataka literature. The main part of the book presents the final stage in the evolution of polemics against the naturalization of caste in the sense of any attempt to include caste among the things that do not depend or proceed exclusively from human thought and arbitrary conventions, i.e., to consider caste as agreeing with nature and not merely with people's social and linguistic habits. This section focuses on the arguments of Dharmakirti.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The present volume is the outcome of the panel "Scriptural Authority and Apologetics in the Indian Religio-Philosophical Environment" held in the framework of the 14th World Sanskrit Conference (Kyoto, September 2, 2009). It contains eleven essays by specialists in the fields of Mahayana Buddhism (P. Skilling, R. Walser), Buddhist epistemology (V. Eltschinger, H. Krasser, S. Moriyama, S. McClintock), Jainism (P. Balcerowicz), Mimamsa and early Vedanta (K. Kataoka, H. David), and Pratyabhijna philosophy (I. Ratie, R. Torella). The topics dealt with range from different symbolic, esthetic and institutional means of scriptural authorization (the long tongue of the Buddha, the preaching dais) to theories of rational choice in ethical-soteriological matters, from "inclusivism" to the critique of competing claims to the perception of the supersensible. Besides presenting in-depth contributions on little studied areas of Indian philosophy, this volume sheds unprecedented light on the diversity, persistence and structural homogeneity of the philosophers enquiries into the legitimacy and the modalities of religious authority and scriptural testimony. It also bears witness to the strong impact of religious pluralism and competition on the nature and the agenda of Indian philosophy Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Brossura. Condition: new. Traduzione di Valeria Zini.Torino, 2023; br., pp. 432, cm 13,6x20,8.(Piccola Biblioteca Einaudi. Mappe). La filosofia, come è generalmente ritenuto, parla greco, tedesco, inglese, francese, italiano, ma secondo molti non parla egiziano, babilonese o sanscrito. Nella storia della filosofia, così come era intesa da un pensiero europeo ansioso di rivendicare l'esclusività delle proprie origini greche, all'India fu interdetto un posto di elezione nel campo dell'indagine critica tra la fine del XVIII e la metà del XIX secolo. Da allora, generazioni di studiosi delle tradizioni intellettuali nell'Asia meridionale hanno richiesto invano la revisione di un processo istruito ingiustamente contro un intero universo filosofico ai più del tutto sconosciuto. Dimostrando la totale infondatezza dei cliché che l'Occidente ha sempre riservato all'antica India, supposta troppo immersa nella sua religiosità per dare spazio alla formalità del pensiero filosofico, Vincent Eltschinger e Isabelle Ratié rivolgono l'attenzione non tanto alle tradizioni dottrinali indiane codificate, quanto a una serie di temi filosofici fondamentali che mostrano in tutta la loro ricchezza e varietà l'impresa razionale di problematizzazione, argomentazione logica e ricerca della verità che si fece strada nei primi mille anni della nostra era nell'Asia meridionale. L'accento posto su alcuni punti di cristallizzazione del dibattito indiano - il sé, l'idealismo, l'altro, la conoscenza, l'autorità, il linguaggio, la semantica, Dio, lo spazio e il tempo - costituisce la vera originalità dell'opera, che offre una comprensione della filosofia indiana per quello che fu nel suo contesto, senza cercare indebiti confronti con le altre filosofie, per non privarla del suo significato, della sua forza, della sua specificità e del suo fascino. Libro.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The "Path" to attain liberation ("marga"), a central notion of Buddhist praxis and thought, designates specific patterns of behaviour and methods of practice connected with transformative powers and soteriological goals. This volume shows the plurality and complexity of Buddhist views on the Path found in Buddhist doctrinal, narrative and philosophical literature, epigraphic sources and iconographic programmes from South Asia. Through new analyses-rather than general pictures-of different kinds of sources, this volume examines how the Path was interpreted, discussed and represented in Buddhist traditions of South Asia. It traces the contours of ideologies of the Path that have variously influenced the formation and development of Buddhist identities in the religious and intellectual landscape of premodern South Asia and contributes to revisiting modern descriptions of the Buddhist Path.
