This book is the first in-depth study of the Śaiva oeuvre of the celebrated polymath Appaya Dīkṣita (1520-1593). Jonathan Duquette documents the rise to prominence and scholarly reception of Śivādvaita Vedānta, a Sanskrit-language school of philosophical theology which Appaya single-handedly established, thus securing his reputation as a legendary advocate of Śaiva religion in early modern India. Based to a large extent on hitherto unstudied primary sources in Sanskrit, Duquette offers new insights on Appaya''s early polemical works and main source of Śivādvaita exegesis, Śrīkaṇṭha''s Brahmamīmāmsābhāṣya; identifies Appaya''s key intellectual influences and opponents in his reconstruction of Śrīkaṇṭha''s theology; and highlights some of the key arguments and strategies he used to make his ambitious project a success. Centred on his magnum opus of Śivādvaita Vedānta, the Śivārkamanidīpikā, this book demonstrates that Appaya''s Śaiva oeuvre was mainly directed against Viśiṣtādvaita Vedānta, the dominant Vaiṣṇava school of philosophical theology in his time and place. A far-reaching study of the challenges of Indian theism, this book opens up new possibilities for our understanding of religious debates and polemics in early modern India as seen through the lenses of one of its most important intellectuals.

The concept of non-duality is foundational to various Asian religious and philosophical traditions, finding its most sophisticated and diversified expressions in Indian thought. Focusing on a rich array of premodern Indian texts across multiple languages and traditions, this handbook charts the different articulations, functions and typologies of non-duality for the first time.Chapters highlight the seminal thinkers who creatively developed or engaged innovatively with an aspect of non-dualistic thought and praxis in their tradition. Written by a team of recognized experts, they cover all major Sanskrit-language religious and philosophical traditions of India—brahmanical, Buddhist, Jain and tantric—and vernacular works. Each contribution introduces critical terms, concepts and definitions used to convey and qualify non-duality, speaking directly to fundamental questions such as what is a key element of non-duality in this philosophical system or religious tradition? What work does it accomplish therein and how?Weaving together traditions that are often discussed in isolation, it reframes the scholarly approach to non-duality in premodern India and provides a comprehensive treatment of a complex and central issue in Indian philosophy and religion. This is an invaluable and accessible resource for scholars and students alike.
