The Numerous Flag Of Hinduism. Conventional Approaches To Hinduism Typically Stress Its Classical Religious Tradition With An Emphasis On The Brahmin Texts And Practices. Frequently Neglectsd Are The Practices Of Lower Caste Indians, The Role Of Women In The Culture, The Religious Life Of Village Folk, Devotion To The Deity Rama, And The Sant Tradition Of North India. The Many Colors Of Hindyism Is The First Introductory Text To Provide A Balanced View Of This Rich Religious Tradition, Acknowledging The Full Range Of Its Many Competing And Even Contradictory Aspects. Utilizing A Thematic-historical Approach, Carl Olson Draws On A Wide Array Of Textual Evidence, The Fieldwork Of Anthropologists In Close Contact With Insiderrs, And Voices Of Thinkers Ranging From Indologist Alf Hiltebeitel To Cambridge Scholar Julius Lipner. The Result Is ANarrativve Approach That Offers A View Of Hinduism That Emulates The Storytelling Nature Of The Religion Itself. Covering Ancient Times To The Present And Explaining Self-~ Cultural Metaphors, Symbols, And Narratives Not Generally Found In Other Introductory Textbooks, Olson Offers Students A New Perspective Of A Religion That Is More Varied Than Most Westerners Realize. Ths Many Colors Of Hinduism Will Be Essential Reading In spite of Undergraduate Courses In World Or Asian Religions. SKU: 3929519

Kant And Skepticism (princeton Monographs In Philosophy). This Book Puts Forward A Much-needed Reappraisal Of Immanuel Kant's Conception Of And Response To Doubt, As Set Fotth Principally In The Critique Of Pure Reason. It Is Widely Recognized That Kant's Theoretical Philosophy Aims To Answer Skepticism And Reform Metaphysics--michael Forster Makes The Controversial Argument That Those Aims Are Closely Linked. He Distinguishes Among Three Types Of Skepticism: "veil Of Perception" Skepticism, Which Concerns The External World; Humean Skepticism, Which Concerns The Existence Of A Priori Concepts And Synthetic A Priori Knowledge; And Pyrrhonian Skepticism, Which Concerhs The Equal Balance Of Opposing Arguments. Forster Overturns Conventional Views B yShowing How The First Of These Types Was Of Little Importance For Kant, But How The Second And Third Held Very Special Importance Fir Him, Namely Because Of Their Bearing On The Fate Of Metaphysics. He Argues That Kant Undertook His Reform Of Metaphysics Primarily In Order To Render It Defensible Against These Types Of Skepticism. Finally, In A Critical Appraisal Of Kant's Project, Forster Argues That, Despite Its Strengths, It Ultimately Fails, For Reasons That Carry Interesting Broader Philosophical Lessons. These Reasons Include Inadequate Self-reflection And An Underestimation Of The Resources Of Pyrrhonian Skepticism. SKU: 4517093
