Epistemologies and the Limitations of Philosophical Inquiry: Doctrine in Madhva Vedanta (repost)

Epistemologies and the Limitations of Philosophical Inquiry: Doctrine in Madhva Vedanta by Deepak Sarma and Francis X. Clooney


English | 2005-01-11 | ISBN: 0415308054 | PDF | 120 pages | 0,5 MB

Deepak Sarma explores the degree to which outsiders can understand and interpret the doctrine of the Màdhva school of Vedànta.
