"The Vaiseshika Aphorisms of Kanada, With Comments from the Upaskara of San-Kara-Misra and the Vivritti of Jaya-Narayana-Tarkapanchanana" is a critical edition and translation of one of the foundational texts of the Vaiśeshika school of Indian philosophy. Originally composed by the sage Kanada, the Vaiseshika Sutras lay out a systematic framework that categorizes reality into substances, qualities, and other ontological elements, aiming to explain the nature and structure of the physical world and its relation to dharma (moral law). The text is enriched with the commentaries of San-Kara-Misra and Jaya-Narayana-Tarkapanchanana, whose insights elucidate complex doctrinal points and provide interpretative depth. This work not only serves as a crucial resource for understanding classical Indian metaphysics but also illustrates the vibrant tradition of philosophical commentary in India, showcasing the dynamic and evolving discourse among scholars across centuries.
Archibald Edward Gough (1845-1915) was a prominent educator and scholar of Indian philosophy at the University of Calcutta. He is best known for his work, "The Philosophy of the Upanishads and Ancient Indian Metaphysics," published in 1882. This book provides a detailed examination of the philosophical ideas central to the Upanishads, exploring concepts of metaphysics within ancient Indian thought. Gough's contributions helped bridge understanding between Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, making complex Indian philosophies accessible to a broader audience.
