By combining careful attention to philosophical content and sensitivity to literary form, Ganeri deepens our understanding of some of the greatest works in Indian literary history. His magisterial survey includes the Upanisads, the Buddha's discourses, the epic Mahabharata, and the writings of Candrakirti, whose work was later to provide the foundation for Tibetan Buddhism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGaneri argues that many Western theories of selfhood are not only present in, but are developed to high degree of sophistication in these writings, and that there are other ideas about the self found in the work of classical Indian thinkers which present-day analytic philosophers have not yet begun to explore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScholars and students of philosophy and religious studies, particularly those with an interest in Indian and Western conceptions of the self, will find this book fascinating reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonardon Ganeri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199202419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199202416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Jonardon Ganeri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044499583231,"sku":"9780199202416","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d6c5276-6da3-4162-9ff7-5515fdb8efd0.jpg?v=1684973208","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-concealed-art-of-the-jonardon-ganeri-9780199202416","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
