Description
The Vaiśeshika Aphorisms of Kaṇāda represent one of the six classical schools of Hindu philosophy, offering profound insights into metaphysics, ontology, and epistemology. This scholarly edition, translated by Archibald Edward Gough, provides English readers with direct access to this ancient philosophical work.
The text is enriched with two significant Sanskrit commentaries: the Upaskāra of Śaṅkara-Miśra, which offers detailed elucidation of Kaṇāda’s aphorisms, and the Vivṛitti of Jaya-Nārāyaṇa, which provides additional philosophical insights and clarifications. These commentaries represent centuries of scholarly interpretation and debate within the Vaiśeshika tradition.
Essential for students of Indian philosophy, comparative metaphysics, and ancient epistemology, this hardcover edition serves as a primary source text for understanding one of Hinduism’s most influential philosophical schools.
