Being and the middle way/Mervyn Sprung. 4. Some aspects of Indian thinking on being/J.N. Mohanty. Index. "A pioneer work in comparative philosophy. This book approaches the question of being through a range of traditions : the Greek, the Christian, the post-Nietzschean European, the Hindu, and the Buddhist. The question of being therefore is both a fresh, cross-cultural approach to a vital issue and also an example of comparative philosophy in action. "The editor's introduction clarifies historically the concept of comparative philosophy from A.du Perron's journey to Persia in the late 18 century to the work of such modern thinkers as Deussen, Jung and Aurbindo. Chapters by Owens and Kahn are concerned with the question of being in Greek philosophy; Gadamer, Adamczewski, and Scharff relate Heidegger's thought variously to Plato and the Greeks, the Upanisads, and the question of being. From the eastern perspective : Halbfass examines the Indian realist school of Vaisesika with reference to Aristotle; Arapura writes of Advaita Vedanta thought of sat and brahman; Sprung discusses the importance of the Buddhist middle way in relation to the question of being ; and Mohanty contrast Vedanta, Nyaya, and Buddhist theories about being."

Paperback. Condición: New. The Magic of Unknowing is a unique philosophical and literary work. Cast in the dialogue form, it unfolds in the mood of soliloquy. Mervyn Sprung has created an imaginative meeting of the minds of great western philosophers: Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Hume, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Pyrrho. All are brothers, the more skeptical sons of Aristotle. Later they hear as well from Chang, a Taoist, and Nagaraj, a Buddhist, both lately adopted into the family.The dialogue dramatises the erosion in modern times of Aristotelian rationality under the pressures of its own logic. The two eastern thinkers throw the weight of their own skepticism into the discussion at the critical point.In the end the brothers realize that they have moved away from Western philosophy's faith in the singular power of reason to establish truth and sense in the human world. They discover the magic of unknowing that lies in the reciprocal penetration of knowledge and behavior, each receiving its sense from the other. They discover that philosophies are not the issue of reasoning alone but are themselves already inseparably thought and action. And they realise that this entails an unheard-of future for philosophy.
