Debates between Brahmins: The Competitive Dynamics of the Brahmodya""; ""INTRODUCTION""; ""THE BRAHMODYA AND THE SACRIFICE"" 327 $a""Notes"" 330 $aThis groundbreaking book is an elegant exploration of the Upanisads, often considered the fountainhead of the rich, varied philosophical tradition in India. The Upani?ads, in addition to their philosophical content, have a number of sections that contain narratives and dialogues?a literary dimension largely ignored by the Indian philosophical tradition, as well as by modern scholars. Brian Black draws attention to these literary elements and demonstrates that they are fundamental to understanding the philosophical claims of the text.Focusing on the Upanisadic notion of the self (?tman), the book is organized into four main sections that feature a lesson taught by a brahmin teacher to a brahmin student, debates between brahmins, discussions between brahmins and kings, and conversations between brahmins and women. These dialogical situations feature dramatic elements that bring attention to both the participants and the social contexts of Upanisadic philosophy, characterizing philosophy as something achieved through discussion and debate. In addition to making a number of innovative arguments, the author also guides the reader through these profound and engaging texts, offering ways of reading the Upani?ads that make them more understandable and accessible. 410 0$aSUNY series in Hindu studies. 606 $aHindu literature, Sanskrit$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCharacter in literature 606 $aSelf in literature 615 0$aHindu literature, Sanskrit$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCharacter in literature. 615 0$aSelf in literature. 676 $a294.5/9218 700 $aBlack$b Brian$f1970-$01806642 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966645903321 996 $aThe character of the self in ancient India$94355931 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00892cam0-2200313 --450 001 9911036080003321 005 20251104131851.0 010 $a978-88-6190-356-2 020 $aIT$b2013-2525 100 $a20251104d2023----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay 001yy 200 1 $a<>bugie nel carrello$fDario Bressanini 205 $a18. ed. 210 $aMilano$cChiarelettere$d2023 215 $a192 p.$d20 cm 225 1 $aReverse 300 $aIn cop.: le leggende e i trucchi del marketing sul cibo che compriamo 610 0 $aGeneri alimentari$aAcquisto 676 $a641.31$v23$zita 700 1$aBressanini,$bDario$0612022 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gREICAT$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a9911036080003321 952 $a641.31 BRED 2023$b00/0360/25$fFAGBC 959 $aFAGBC 996 $aBugie nel carrello$94451719 997 $aUNINA
