• catalog abstract ""Classical Indian schools of philosophy undertake inquiry with the formal aim of attaining some supreme end to existenceliberation from the cycle of lives. This book looks at four conceptions of liberation and the way analytic inquiry and philosophical knowledge are held to lead in its attainment. The brahminical (or Hindu) schools of Mimamsa, Nyaya and Advaita Vedanta, and the Buddhist Yogacara (and Yogacara Madhyamika) are studied. Although they agree that inquiry and knowledge play a role in its attainment, they differ on the significance of knowledge, the manner in which liberation is attained and its content. The notion of liberation, which is generally recognised as vital to Indian religious culture, and rigorous philosophical activity, which is not as generally recognised, are systematically dealt with and their interrelationship is shown. The study proceeds through exegesis of original translations especially relevant since several new interpretations of both liberation and philosophical doctrines are offered."--Jacket.".
