Dragonetti, Carmen/Fernando Tola
Essays on Indian Philosophy in Comparative Perspective

The authors address five cases of thematic and methodological coincidences between Indian and Western philosophical thought in order to establish that an Indian philosophy with the same expectations and the same weaknesses as those of Western philosophy exists: I. The fundament of the ontological proof and Bhartrhari. - II. Indian and Western theories of categories: Svarûpavattva / entelechy / exsistentia. - III. Aristotle and Prasastapâda on the genesis of the 'universals'. - IV. On spontaneous generation: Buddhism, Prasastapâda and Aristotle. - V. Udayana, the Cârvâkas, and Hume on causality.
