This book introduces readers to Indian philosophy by presenting the
first integral English translation of Vaisesikasutra as preserved
by the earliest canonical commentary of Candrananda (7th century
AD) on the old aphorisms of the Vaisesika school of Indian
philosophy. The present monograph offers a canonical description of
the fundamental categories of ontology and metaphysics, among which
the category of 'particularity' (visesa) plays a major role in the
'problem of individuation' of the 'nature' of substance in both
Indian as well as Western metaphysics. This commentary should be
read primarily in relation to Aristotle's Categories. It is
structured in 3 parts. Chapter 1 contains a general introduction to
Indian philosophy and the Vaisesika system. Chapter 2 is a
textual-philological discussion on the commentary itself, since its
first publication in 1961 by Muni Jambuvijayaji up to the present
day. Chapter 3 is a 'philosophical translation' that reads
Vaisesika in the global context of Comparative Philosophy and aims
to render this text accessible and comprehensible to all readers
interested in ontology and metaphysics. A new reference work and a
fundamental introduction to anyone interested in Indian and
Comparative Philosophy, this volume will be of interest to scholars
and students in Classical Studies, Modern Philosophy, and Asian
Religions and Philosophies.
