Three Pillars of Skepticism in Classical India

Nagarjuna, Jayarasi, and Sri Harsa

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that the history of India contains a tradition of skepticism about philosophy represented most clearly by three figures: N¿g¿rjuna, Jayar¿¿i, and ¿r¿ Har¿a. Furthermore, understanding this tradition ought to be an important part of our contemporary metaphilosophical reflections on the purposes and limits of philosophy.
