Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the task of explaining the extended meaning known as Vakyartha according to the Prabhakara school of Purva Mimamsa, the ancient Indian theory of meaning. It is based on the Vakyarthamatrka of Salikanatha Misra, the most celebrated writer of the Prabhakara Mimamsa. It presents a critical and comparative discussion of the central factors of this text, namely Expectation, Merit and Juxtaposition, which are recognised as the causes of deriving and understanding the meanings of words and sentences. The book also explores the Abhihitanvayavada of the Bhatta Mimamsa and the Anvitabhidhanavada of the Prabhakaramimamsa, investigating a number of important issues, including the cause of verbal comprehension, implication, importation, urge and performability. As such, the book will appeal to scholars in the fields of Sanskrit texts, linguistics, literary criticism, philosophy, Indology, and Ancient Indian scriptures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Eastern Philosophy provides an accessible critical introduction to how some of the key philosophies of the East compare with those in the West. Starting from a discussion of the problems of distinguishing between religions and philosophies, Ray Billington presents a clear picture of the key tenets behind Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jainism and Confucianism. Moving on to compare the key themes of religious philosophy that cut across East and West, such as a belief in God, the soul, moral decision-making, nature and authority, Understanding Eastern Philosophy presents a fascinating and controversial picture of the contribution theistic religions have to make. With its belief in a personal God bestowing a particular version of 'truth', Ray Billington concludes that the universal mysticism characteristic of Eastern thought provides a more realistic and rewarding path than is commonly supposed in the West. Understanding Eastern Philosophy assumes no prior knowledge of religion or philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian orthodox philosophical traditions, also known as the Astika schools, are deeply rooted in the Vedic scriptures and form the foundational pillars of classical Indian philosophy. These schools include Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Purba Mimamsa, and Uttar Mimamsa or Vedanta, each offering a distinctive perspective on the fundamental questions of existence, knowledge, ethics, and the nature of reality. Grounded in the authority of the Vedas, these traditions have shaped the intellectual and cultural fabric of India for millennia, influencing not only philosophy but also other aspects of society, religion, and art. At the heart of Indian intellectual beliefs is a strong desire to understand the final nature of reality and how to reach spiritual awareness or freedom. They talk about questions about life, knowledge, ethics, and the nature of the self. They give us structures and points of view to help us make sense of the complicated things that happen to us.
