It also includes the first English translation of its oldest commentary, the Tattvārthādhigamabhāṣya (TABh). By examining the philosophical sections of the TA and TABh, which deviate from traditional views and introduce several innovative concepts, the analysis suggests that the TA and TABh were written by different authors and contain multiple historical layers. The texts reflect the concurrent intellectual movements of the time and include comparisons with other schools, such as the Nyāya and Vaiśeṣika traditions, providing a detailed analysis of their philosophical content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, the appendix offers an English translation from the original Sanskrit text of the TA, as well as the first English translation of the commentary on these passages from the TABh. By placing the text within the broader history of Indian philosophy, the book enhances our understanding of the role of the Jainas in the development of Indian thought. It is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Indian philosophy, Indian thought, and Asian religions alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 621g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032370071\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucasden Boer","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44368176152826,"sku":"9781032370071","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1689945155114_book.jpg?v=1689962207","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-jaina-worldview-a-study-and-translation-of-the-philosophical-chapters-of-the-tattvarthadhigama-9781032370071","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
