Karma
AvJohannes Bronkhorst
Häftad, Engelska, 2011

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Karma has become a household word in the modern world, where it is associated with the belief in rebirth determined by one’s deeds in earlier lives. This belief was and is widespread in the Indian subcontinent as is the word “karma” itself. In lucid and accessible prose, this book presents karma in its historical, cultural, and religious context.Initially, karma manifested itself in a number of religious movements?most notably Jainism and Buddhism?and was subsequently absorbed into Brahmanism in spite of opposition until the end of the first millennium C.E. Philosophers of all three traditions were confronted with the challenge of explaining by what process rebirth and karmic retribution take place. Some took the drastic step of accepting the participation of a supreme god who acted as a cosmic accountant, others of opting for radical idealism. The doctrine of karma was confronted with alternative explanations of human destiny, among them the belief in the transfer of merit. It also had to accommodate itself to devotional movements that exerted a major influence on Indian religions.The book concludes with some general reflections on the significance of rebirth and karmic retribution, drawing attention to similarities between early Christian and Indian ascetical practices and philosophical notions that in India draw their inspiration from the doctrine of karma.

Buddhist Teaching in India

The earliest records we have today of what the Buddha said were written down several centuries after his death, and the body of teachings attributed to him continued to evolve in India for centuries afterward across a shifting cultural and political landscape. As one tradition within a diverse religious milieu that included even the Greek kingdoms of northwestern India, Buddhism had many opportunities to both influence and be influenced by competing schools of thought. Even within Buddhism, a proliferation of interpretive traditions produced a dynamic intellectual climate. Johannes Bronkhorst here tracks the development of Buddhist teachings both within the larger Indian context and among Buddhism''s many schools, shedding light on the sources and trajectory of such ideas as dharma theory, emptiness, the bodhisattva ideal, buddha nature, formal logic, and idealism. In these pages, we discover the roots of the doctrinal debates that have animated the Buddhist tradition up until the present day.

Extreme Religious Behaviours
Where Religious Practice and Biological Evolution Clash
AvJohannes Bronkhorst
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Certain religious behaviours clearly reduce biological fitness. These behaviours include celibacy along with various forms of asceticism, and rituals that harm the performer. Such behaviours are found in widely different cultures. How is this possible? This book shows that these behaviours (as is religion in general) are by-products of features of the human mind whose evolutionary fitness is beyond doubt and explores those features. Which are those features? This book proposes a twofold answer. It draws attention to the layered nature of human consciousness, in which different manners of experience are superimposed on each other. This goes a long way toward accounting for the universal religious belief in some kind of transcendental world, a "higher" reality, different from "ordinary" reality. The layering of consciousness comes about in childhood and gains in prominence with the acquisition of a first language, which is the second feature highlighted in this book. Together, these features explain a variety of "normal" religious behaviours and beliefs, and account for the possibility of mystical experience. They also explain the occurrence of behaviours that do not augment evolutionary fitness.

Aryan and Non-Aryan in South Asia
Evidence, Interpretation and Ideology
AvJohannes Bronkhorst,Madhav M. Deshpande
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
1 055 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The volume deals with the history of the concept of A?rya and Aryans in East and West, with the linguistic, textual and archaeological evidence in South Asia and beyond.The terms Aryan and Non-Aryan, corresponding to Sanskrit a?rya and ana?rya, can readily be shown that among the literary traditions indigen- ous to South Asia have always evoked strong responses, both positive and negative, as they continue to do even today; but it can also be shown that while they designate a boundary that is in some sense an ethnic one in the Veda, in other literatures the distinction has a religious or moral character.There have been reconsiderations and reinterpretations of the terms within and outside of the academy. There is on the one hand the established view of a migration of Aryans into South Asia; on the other hand there are new voices calling the whole endeavour fanciful, motivated by colonialism, Orientalism, nationalism, or something else. What is startling is that the criticism of the status quo comes from completely different directions.

Greater Magadha
Studies in the Culture of Early India

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Greater Magadha, roughly the eastern part of the Gangetic plain of northern India, has so far been looked upon as deeply indebted to Brahmanical culture. Religions such as Buddhism and Jainism are thought of as derived, in one way or another, from Vedic religion. This belief is defective in various respects. This book argues for the importance and independence of Greater Magadha as a cultural area until a date close to the beginning of the Common Era. In order to correct the incorrect notions, two types of questions are dealt with: questions pertaining to cultural and religious dependencies, and questions relating to chronology. As a result a modified picture arises that also has a bearing on the further development of Indian culture.

Buddhism in the Shadow of Brahmanism
AvJohannes Bronkhorst
Inbunden, Engelska, 2011

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
For many centuries Buddhism and Brahmanism coexisted in the Indian subcontinent. This book concentrates on the way in which the two, after an initial period of relative independence, confronted each other, both in and around the royal courts and in society at large. In this confrontation, Buddhism was strong in philosophical debate, but could not compete with Brahmanism in the services it could provide to the centres of political power, primarily ritual protection and practical advice. Buddhism evolved in both areas, providing practical advice to lay people and rulers from early Mahayana onward, and ritual protection in its Tantric developments. Some of these developments came too late, though, and could not prevent the disappearance of Buddhism from the subcontinent.

On an Episode in Indian Thought
AvJohannes Bronkhorst

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
For a number of centuries Indian philosophers of all persuasions were convinced that there was a particularly close connection between language and reality, also, or even primarily, between sentences and the situations they describe. This shared conviction was responsible for a perceived problem. Different currents in Indian philosophy can be understood as different attempts to solve this problem; these include the satkāryavāda of the Sāṃkhyas, the anekāntavāda of the Jainas, the śūnyavāda of the Buddhists, and many others. By bringing to light the shared problem underlying almost all schools of Indian philosophy, this book shows the interconnectedness of currents that had hitherto been thought of as quite independent of each other.

The Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha presents sixteen philosophical systems known to its 14th century author. The first and so far only English translation of the whole of the Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha dates from the nineteenth century, when few of the source texts used by its author were accessible. This new translation will rectify numerous current incorrect interpretations and misunderstandings of the text.

This book was written as a doctoral thesis. It was submitted to and accepted by the University of Poona in 1979. Several people contributed to the creation of this book, in various ways. Prof. S. D. Joshi, my supervisor, introduced me to the study of the Sanskrit grammatical tradition. His unfailing skepticism towards and disagreement with the ideas worked out in this book contributed more to their development than he may have been aware. Prof. Paul Kiparsky gave encouragement when this was badly needed. In the years following 1979 Dr. Dominik Wujastyk was kind enough to read the manuscript and suggest improvements in language and style. To all of these lowe a debt of gratitude, but most of all lowe such a debt to Pandit Shivarama Krishna Shastri. In the course of several years he read with me many portions of Nagesa's grammatical and other works, and much besides. His ability to understand difficult grammatical and philosophical texts in Sanskrit was unequalled, and without his help it would have taken far longer to write this book and indeed might very well have proved impossible. Shivarama Krishna Shastri never saw the result of our reading; he died before this book could appear in print. I dedicate it to his memory. J.

Śabda Reader
Language in Classical Indian Thought
AvJohannes Bronkhorst
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
753 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Language (śabda) occupied a central yet often unacknowledged place in classical Indian philosophical thought. Foundational thinkers considered topics such as the nature of language, its relationship to reality, the nature and existence of linguistic units and their capacity to convey meaning, and the role of language in the interpretation of sacred writings. The first reader on language in—and the language of—classical Indian philosophy, A Śabda Reader offers a comprehensive and pedagogically valuable treatment of this topic and its importance to Indian philosophical thought.A Śabda Reader brings together newly translated passages by authors from a variety of traditions—Brahmin, Buddhist, Jaina—representing a number of schools of thought. It illuminates issues such as how Brahmanical thinkers understood the Veda and conceived of Sanskrit; how Buddhist thinkers came to assign importance to language’s link to phenomenal reality; how Jains saw language as strictly material; the possibility of self-contradictory sentences; and how words affect thought. Throughout, the volume shows that linguistic presuppositions and implicit notions about language often play as significant a role as explicit ideas and formal theories. Including an introduction that places the texts and ideas in their historical and cultural context, A Śabda Reader sheds light on a crucial aspect of classical Indian thought and in so doing deepens our understanding of the philosophy of language.

An Annotated Translation and Study of the Piṇḍotpatti-prakaraṇa of Śārngadeva’s Sangītaratnākara
AvMakoto Kitada,Johannes Bronkhorstm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2012
910 kr
Tillfälligt slut
The Sangītaratnākara («The Ocean of Music») written by Śārngadeva in the 13th century is the most important theoretical work on Indian classical music. Its prologue, the Pindotpatti-prakarana («The Section of the Arising of the Human Body»), deals with the Indian science of the human body, i.e. embryology, anatomy, and the Hathayogic heory of Cakras. The sources of this work are found in the classical medical texts (Āyurveda) such as Caraka, Suśruta and Vāgbhata, the Hathayogic texts as well as in the encyclopaedic texts (Purāna). After philologically analyzing the mutual relation and background of these texts, the author demonstrates the reasons why the human body is described in this musicological work. His investigation reveals the Indian mystic thought of body and sound. This study, although an Indological one, is an attempt to answer the universal question what music is, i.e. how music is created in the human body, what the effect of music on the human body is, and what music aims at. The second half of the book consists of a translation of the original text of the Pindotpatti-prakarana, including commentaries, with plenty of annotations.

Tillfälligt slut
Um eine stufengerechte Didaktik mit aktiven Spracherwerbsmustern für die Grundstrukturen zu gewährleisten wie auch um die Menge an Grammatik und Vokabular zu kontrollieren, werden im Rahmen des terminologisch und relational geschlossenen Korrespondenzsystems der Fünf-Elementen-Lehre die grundlegenden Syntaxmuster eingeübt und erste Annäherungen an das phonologische System ermöglicht. Mit dem beschränkten Vokabular können so in kürzester Zeit zahllose Äusserungen produziert werden, was einerseits Vertrautheit mit dem Vokabular mit sich bringt, andererseits durch die Repetitivität die Inhalte ausblendet und damit zur wünschbaren Konzentration auf die grammatischen Strukturen und zu deren Festigung führt.Der erste Teil enthält einen Übungsschlüssel und eine Schreibhilfe sowie ein Wörterbuch mit dem gesamten Vokabular des Lehrbuchs. In diesem Teil sind gegenüber der ersten Auflage nur geringfügige Verbesserungen vorgenommen worden.Der zweite Teil umfasst dreissig aufbereitete Auszüge aus antikchinesischen Quellentexten. Er führt das Konzept der ersten Auflage weiter und umfasst vollständige Glossare und umfangreiche Grammatiknotizen zu jeder Äusserung.Eine Besonderheit ist die systematische und aktualisierte Einbeziehung des state-of-the-art der historischen Phonologie und Morphologie. Diese ermöglicht einen sehr viel präziseren Zugang zu morphologischen und etymologischen Beziehungen innerhalb des antikchinesischen Wortschatzes. Systematische Verweise auf morpho-syntaktische Parallelen zeigen die Nützlichkeit eines Blickes hinter den allzu bezaubernden Schleier der Schriftzeichen. Die Darstellung aller behandelten Texte in phonologischen Rekonstruktionen erlaubt darbehandelten Texte in phonologischen Rekonstruktionen erlaubt darüber hinaus ein neues Verständnis prosodischer Strukturen gereimter und prosimetrischer Texte und Einblicke in die rhetorischen Konstruktionsprinzipien der antiken Kunstprosa.
