Reason and Tradition in Indian Thought: An Essay on the Nature of Indian Philosophical Thinking de Jitendra Nath Mohanty

Reason and Tradition in Indian Thought: An Essay on the Nature of Indian Philosophical Thinking

Autor Jitendra Nath Mohanty
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 dec 1992
In this book, Professor Mohanty develops a new interpretation of the ontology and nature of Indian philosophical thinking. Using the original Sanskrit sources, he examines the concepts of consciousness and subjectivity, and the theories of meaning and truth, and explicates the concept of theoretical rationality that underlies the Indian philosophies. The author brings to bear insights from modern Western analytical and phenomenological philosophies, not with a view to instituting direct comparisons but in order to interpret Indian thinking. In doing so, he highlights some very distinctive features of Indian thinking.

Recenzii

`a rich demonstration that for millennia Indian philosophers were grappling with many of the gritty issues which preoccupy twentieth century philosophers'Times Literary Supplement
'This book is an exciting and novel attempt to provide a new basis and method for comparative philosophy. Mohanty's presentation of the source material is superb, and his analyses are outstanding ... this is a most interesting book on Indian philosophy I have read in a while ... he is always a pleasure to read, always fascinating and inspiring. Above all, the book contains a great promise - its approach and methodology could rescue comparative philosophy from its current moribund state.'E. Franco, La Trobe University
'Mohanty writes and thinks here as an Indian philosopher engaging his tradition critically and insightfully, looking to find what is still alive and potentially creative within it. One of the most striking achievements of Mohanty's work is his ability to set forth clearly what is distinctive and valuable in Indian thought while being able to bring it in close relation to philosophy as conceived in the West. Mohanty's book would be a dismal failure if it turned out not to be provocative. Its remarkable success is assured by the stimulus it offers to one's own critical and creative thinking and the insight it offers into so many intricate issues and positions in classical Indian thought.'Eliot Deutsch, University of Hawaii, International Philosophical Quarterly, Vol. XXXIV, No.2, Issue No. 134, June 1994
'the book has a great deal that is important to say'Karl H. Potter, University of Washington, Journal of the American Oriental Society 1214.1 (1994)
An interesting and important contribution to the scholarship of Indian philosophy ... I believe the book has made an excellent case for treating Indian philosophy as philosophy ... it is required reading for anyone in the Western tradition concerned with Indian philosophy, and for anyone interested in pursuing the thesis of an incompatibility of Western and Indian philosophical thought.
