Text and Authority in the Older Upaniṣads (Brill's Indological Library)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (11143 ratings)

Description:The Upani?ads have often been treated as a unified corpus of religious and philosophical texts, separate from the older Vedic tradition. It is well known that the Upani?ads were initially composed and transmitted within specific schools of Vedic recitation, or kh?s, but the kh? affiliation of each Upani?ad has received very little attention in the scholarly literature. The author offers a new interpretation of the older Upani?ads in the light of the Vedic school affiliations of each text. This book argues that issues of textual authority, and in particular the authority of the various Vedic schools, are central in the Upani?ads, and that the Upani?ads can, on one level, be read as texts about text. While analyzing the theme of textual authority in the Upani?ads, the author also outlines a theory of textual criticism as applied to orally transmitted texts that will be of use to textual scholars in other fields as well.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
