Omschrijving
The book is an introduction to key concepts of Indian Philosophy, seen from the perspective of the influential school of Prābhākara Mīmāṃsā (flourished from the 7th until the 20th c. AD). It includes the edition and translation of Rāmānujācārya's Śāstraprameyapariccheda.
In this first ever translation of Rāmānujācārya’s Tantrarahasya she (Freschi [ed]) has unraveled the complicated inter-Mīmāṃsā argument over the prescription theory through minute philological investigation. In addition her succint explanation of the technical terms in Mīmāṃsā hermeneutics (chap. 4.) as well as the glossary supplied in the appendix, offer readers - even non-specialists - considerable help in better understanding Rāmānujācārya thought. - Taisei Shida, Kyoto University Japan.
Elisa Freschi, PhD in South Asian Studies, has studied both Indian and Western Philosophy. Currently Research Fellow of Sanskrit at the University “Sapienza”, Rome, Italy, she has published on the history of ideas in various schools of Indian philosophy.
