The Upanisads are the central scriptures of Hinduism. They
represent some of the most important literary products in the
history of Indian culture and religion, both because they played a
critical role in the development of religious ideas in India and
because they are our greatest source for the religious, social, and
intellectual history of ancient India. Composed at a time of great
social, economic, and religious change, the Upanisads document the
transition from the archaic ritualism of the Veda into new
religious ideas and institutions. The first major English
translation of the ancient Upanisads for over half a century,
Olivelle's work incorporates the most recent historical and
philological scholarship. The introduction and detailed notes make
this edition ideal for the non-specialist as well as for students
of Indian religions. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
