{"product_id":"9781350070479","title":"Controversial Reasoning in Indian Philosophy : Major Texts and Arguments on Arthâpatti","description":"\u003cp\u003eArthâpatti is a pervasive form of reasoning investigated by Indian philosophers in order to think about unseen causes and interpret ordinary and religious language. Its nature is a point of controversy among Mimamsa, Nyaya, and Buddhist philosophers, yet, to date, it has received less attention than perception, inference, and testimony. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection presents a one-of-a-kind reference resource for understanding this form of reasoning studied in Indian philosophy. Assembling translations of central primary texts together with newly-commissioned essays on research topics, it features a significant introductory essay. Readable translations of Sanskrit works are accompanied by critical notes that introduce arthâpatti, offer historical context, and clarify the philosophical debates surrounding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShowing how arthâpatti is used as a way to reason about the basic unseen causes driving language use, cause-and-effect relationships, as well as to interpret ambiguous or figurative texts, this book demonstrates the importance of this epistemic instrument in both contemporary Anglo-analytic and classical Indian epistemology, language, and logic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48952269439211,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":421.17,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781350070479-1.jpg?v=1783098132","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781350070479","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
