Post Samkara Dialectics of the Advaita Vedanta
Author: A Bhattacharyya Shastri
Editor/Commentator:
Publisher: Bharatiya Kala Prakashan
ISBN: 978-81-8090-004-4
Format: Hardcover
Pages: 286
List Price: £10.00
Synopsis: Editorial Reviews

Product Description
An attempt has been made to give a systematic presentation of post-Samkara dialectics of the Advaita-Vedanta. The main object of the dialectics as developed by the Neo-Vedantic teachers is to carry though to perfection by a critical examination of the concepts and categories of the opposing sister schools. The present volume comprises eight chapters bearing mainly on the epistemology of post-Samkara thought. Of eight chapters, the first three deal with the nature and validity of knowledge and the next five are concerned mainly with an explanation of appearance and its implication from the standpoint of epistemology. In the first chapter, nature of knowledge has been examined and analysed so as to bring out the problems involved therein. The second chapter deals with the important and unique Indian conception of self-luminosity of knowledge - the problem of self-luminosity being studied from two sides. The third chapter is concerned with the validity of knowledge, and deals mainly with the formidable arguments of the Navya-Nyaya school as represented by Gangesa in his Tattvacintamani and discusses how the Mimamsa and Vedanta schools refute the neo-logicians by their own dialectic. In the fourth chapter, Srihara's famous dialectic in the refutation of the Nyaya-Vaisesika categories has been studed while the fifth and sixth chapters deal with Madhusudana's refutation of Vyasaraja's arguments against the Vedantic conception of the universe as unreal.

A Tradition of Teachers: Sankara and the Jagadurus Today
Author: William Cenkner
Editor/Commentator:
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass
ISBN: 978-81-208-1763-0
Format: Paperback
Pages: 210
List Price: $19.75
Synopsis: Book Description

The uniqueness of the Indian guru rests upon the uniqueness of the Indian teaching tradition. An understanding of a religious figure in India can be achieved only within the framework of the teaching tradition from which that individual has come.

The study selects one way of understanding the guru in classical Hindu life in the belief that this articulation offers something normative for an understanding of guru in the wider Indian development and history. The first part of this book is drawn from the texts that trace the role of guru and the guru-sisya relationship in the writings of Sanskara. The second part of the book is an investigation of the five major acaryas of the Sankara tradition reigning during the last half of the twentieth century. Thus, the articulation of the guru in the writings of Sankara, in part one, is tested from the historical context among the Sankaracaryas of the recent past.

Editorial Reviews

Review
Cenkner has produced a helpful work on an important facet of the tradition of Sankara: the succession of acaryas of Sankara order, their contemporary teaching, and methods. --Daniel P. Sheridan
