Slight wear to spine, covers, corners and dustjacket. ; This scholarly work is a critical edition and translation of Suresvara's Vartika on the Purusavidha Brahmana, a significant text in the Advaita Vedanta tradition. Suresvara, a disciple of the famed philosopher Adi Shankaracharya, is known for his detailed commentaries (Vartikas) on various Upanishads and Brahmanas. In this book, the focus is on the Purusavidha Brahmana section of the Taittiriya Brahmana, which deals with philosophical inquiries into the nature of the Purusha (the Universal Self). Editors K. P. Joh and Shoun Hino provide an extensive translation and annotation of Suresvara’s work, aiming to make it accessible to both scholars and students of Indian philosophy. Their commentary helps elucidate Suresvara's interpretations and the philosophical depths of Vedantic thought. The book also explores the broader implications of Suresvara’s teachings on the self and reality, emphasizing his contributions to the non-dualistic school of Advaita Vedanta, which seeks to dissolve the distinctions between the individual and the universal. This text is pivotal for understanding the complex dialogues within Vedantic traditions and provides valuable insights into the historical development of Indian philosophical thought. ; Octavo; xxviii, 694 pages.
