On Being and What There is Classical Vaisesika and the History of Indian Ontology

 
Wilhelm Halbfass (Author)
Synopsis It is a comprehensive study of some of the most difficult and poorly understood yet-central-issues of classical Indian Philosophy. It covers an amazingly broad range of Texts, explanining and analyzing some materials that have never been studied. It offers a synthetic picture of Vaisesika contology and convincingly explicated its 'genius'. No one has ever explained the concepts of substance, being and universal in Vaisesika as comprehensively and accurately as Halbfass has done. no one has ever fccussed on 'the conceptualization of being', as he has done here. Nor has anyone ever analyzed the writings of Vyomsiva, Sridhara, and Udayana as thoroughtly and completely. No one has brought in the rich Jaina materials to this extent.
