This is the first book fully dedicated to Indian philosophical
doxography. It examines the function such dialectical texts were
intended to serve in the intellectual and religious life of their
public. It looks at Indian doxography both as a witness of inter-
and intra-sectarian dialogues and as a religious phenomenon. It
argues that doxographies represent dialectical exercises,
indicative of a peculiar religious attitude to plurality, and
locate these 'exercises' within a known form of 'yoga' dedicated to
the cultivation of 'knowledge' or 'gnosis' (jnana). Concretely, the
book presents a critical examination of three Sanskrit
doxographies: the Madhyamakahrdayakarika of the Buddhist Bhaviveka,
the Saddarsanasamuccaya of the Jain Haribhadra, and the
Sarvasiddhantasangraha attributed to the Advaitin Sankara, focusing
on each of their respective presentation of the Mimamsa view. It is
the first time that the genre of doxography is considered beyond
its literary format to ponder its performative dimension, as a
spiritual exercise. Theoretically broad, the book reaches out to
academics in religious studies, Indian philosophy, Indology, and
classical studies.
