Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: 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. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book deals first with the historical and doctrinal foundations of Dharmakirti's religious philosophy. It points to a socio-historical context of Brahmanical hostility toward non- and anti-Vedic denominations (chapter 1), new patterns of Buddhist self-diction (chapter 2), reinvented models of theoretical and apologetical rationality (chapter 3), and the dogmatic infrastructure underlying Buddhist epistemology (chapter 4). It argues that Buddhist "Tantrism" and Buddhist "logic," two roughly contemporary phenomena that can be regarded as the main literary outcomes of the "early medieval" period, share interesting features in terms of polemical targets and self-understanding. Since the end of the fifth century, intra-Buddhist polemics have become less relevant (at least in the form it had had heretofore) and partly receded into the background in favor of inter- or cross-confessional controversies. Departing from Abhidharma and addressing new, predominantly non-Buddhist targets resulted in the abandonment of scholastic, confession-specific terminology and methods as well as the development of new models of theoretical and apologetical rationality: first, the construction of a clear-cut concept of reason(ing) as opposed to scripture; second, the gradual constitution of a concept of practical rationality that served the apologetic purpose of defending the very possibility, or rationality, of the Buddhist path. Finally, the book examines the extent to which Buddhist epistemology can be said to be Buddhist at all as regards its deeper doctrinal structure. It attempts to interpret the foundations of Buddhist epistemology - the apoha theory, the doctrine of the pramanas, etc. - as a rationalization and an apologetically updated version of Buddhist dogmas on the structure of ultimate and conventional realities, on the cognitive bases of error and its elimination, and on the cintamayi prajna ("insight born of reflection") as a salvific means of a predominantly inferential order.

Brossura. Zustand: new. Traduzione di Zini V.Torino, 2023; br., pp. 432, cm 14x22.(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. Zustand: 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. Contributors are: Naomi Appleton, Malcolm David Eckel, Vincent Eltschinger, Anna Filigenzi, Rupert Gethin, Jowita Kramer, Daniel M. Stuart, Peter-Daniel Szanto, Vincent Tournier and Nobuyoshi Yamabe.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Johannes Bronkhorst, professor of Sanskrit and Indian Studies at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, from 1987 to 2011, undoubtedly belongs to the most talented and significant indologists of the last three decades. His abundant work testifies to an unparalleled range of interests from early Buddhism to grammar, mathematics to asceticism, philosophy to archaeology, and is characterized by the determination to challenge preconceived ideas, clichés and traditional (mis)constructs.The present felicitation volume includes thirty-two essays by some of the finest scholars in the field of indology, which reflect Johannes Bronkhorst's main scholarly contributions: Grammar, Philosophy, Vedic Studies, Buddhism and Jainism, Dharmasastra and Arthasastra, Epics and Puranas. It presents an almost complete spectrum of the intellectual and spiritual pursuits and speculations in Ancient India, and will be of inestimable value to the specialists of all fields of Indology. The volume also includes a presentation of Johannes Bronkhorst's academic career and contribution to Indian Studies by Jan E.M. Houben, and an ongoing bibliography of his work.
