It should now also be possible to order hard copies from De Gruyter.
The monograph is based on my original translations of Sanskrit texts, particularly the
Nyāyāmṛta of the Mādhva philosopher Vyāsatīrtha. The text is widely considered a masterpiece of Vedānta philosophy and proved to be one of the most influential works in Vedānta from the sixteenth century onward. The volume also includes translations from the works of Jayatīrtha, Gaṅgeśa Upādhyāya, Madhusūdana Sarasvatī, and others.
A central focus of the book is the Mādhva critique of the doctrine of “indeterminacy” (
anirvacanīyatā) and related issues about existence/nonexistence and the epistemology of perception. A central theme is Vyāsatīrtha’s use of the work of the Navya-Nyāya philosopher Gaṅgeśa Upādhyāya to critique Advaita philosophy.
