Dialogue and Doxography in Indian PhilosophyPoints of View in Buddhist, Jaina, and Advaita Ved?nta Traditions\nAuthor(s): Karl-Stphan Bouthillette\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032237633, 978-1032237633\nSynopsis\nThis is the first book fully dedicated to Indian philosophical doxography. It examines the function such dialectical texts were intended to serve in the intellectual and religious life of their public. It looks at Indian doxography both as a witness of inter- and intra-sectarian dialogues and as a religious phenomenon. It argues that doxographies represent dialectical exercises, indicative of a peculiar religious attitude to plurality, and locate these exercises within a known form of yoga dedicated to the cultivation of knowledge or gnosis (jana).\n\nConcretely, the book presents a critical examination of three Sanskrit doxographies: the Madhyamakahdayakarika of the Buddhist Bhaviveka, the adarsana.
