Recent Sanskrit Commentaries on Vai?esikasutras -- Chapter 14. Vai?esika Studies Across the World. 330 $aThe proposed book presents an overview of select theories in the classical Vai?e?ika system of Indian philosophy, such as the concept of categories, creation and existence, atomic theory, consciousness and cognition. It also expounds in detail the concept of dharma, the idea of the highest good and expert testimony as a valid means of knowing in Vai?e?ika thought. Some of the major themes discussed are the religious inclination of Vai?e?ika thought towards Pasupata Saivism, the affiliation of the Vai?e?ika System to the basic foundations of Indian philosophical thought, namely Veda and Yoga, and their insights into science, hermeneutics and metaphysics. In addition, this book includes recent Sanskrit commentaries on key Vai?e?ika texts and provides a glimpse of Vai?e?ika studies across the world. Overall, this book enunciates the Vai?e?ika view from original sources and is an important work for Vai?e?ika studies in current times for serious students as well as researchers. . 606 $aPhilosophy, Asian 606 $aHinduism 606 $aCivilization?History 606 $aNon-Western Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44060 606 $aHinduism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A4000 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 615 0$aPhilosophy, Asian. 615 0$aHinduism. 615 0$aCivilization?History. 615 14$aNon-Western Philosophy. 615 24$aHinduism. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a181 700 $aKumar$b ShashiPrabha$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0911789 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350210503321 996 $aCategories, Creation and Cognition in Vai?e?ika Philosophy$92041860 997 $aUNINA
