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 Vaiśeṣika thought. Some of the major themes discussed are the religious inclination of Vaiśeṣika thought towards Pasupata Saivism, the affiliation of the Vaiśeṣika 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 Vaiśeṣika texts and provides a glimpse of Vaiśeṣika studies across the world. Overall, this book enunciates the Vaiśeṣika view from original sources and is an important work for Vaiśeṣika studies in current times for serious students as well as researchers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Veda and Vaiśesika.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e2.\u003c\/b\u003e Yoga and Vaiśesika.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e3.\u003c\/b\u003e Concept of Categories in Vaiśesika.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.\u003c\/b\u003e Vaiśesika Theory of Creation.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e5.\u003c\/b\u003e Atomic Theory of Vaiśesika.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e6.\u003c\/b\u003eVaiśesika Insights into Science.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e7.\u003c\/b\u003e Consciousness and Cognition in Vaiśesika.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e8.\u003c\/b\u003e Sabda in Vaiśesika.- Chapter \u003cb\u003e9.\u003c\/b\u003e Hermeneutical Principles in Vaiśeṣika.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e10. \u003c\/b\u003eNiḥśreyasa in Vyomavatī.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e11.\u003c\/b\u003e Are the Vaiśeṣikas Pāśupatas.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e12.\u003c\/b\u003e Ethics in Vaiśesika.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e13.\u003c\/b\u003e Recent Sanskrit Commentaries on Vaiśesikasutras.- \u003cb\u003eChapter \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e14. \u003c\/b\u003eVaiśesika Studies Across the World.","brand":"Springer Verlag, Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091889189207,"sku":"9789811329647","price":67.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789811329647.jpg?v=1762276162","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/categories-creation-and-cognition-in-vaisesika-philosophy-9789811329647","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
