Beschreibung:
Pradeep P. Gokhale is Honorary Adjunct Professor in the Departments of Philosophy and Pali, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, India. He has thirty-one years of postgraduate teaching and research experience at Savitribai Phule Pune University and was Dr B. R. Ambedkar Research Professor at the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, Sarnath (Varanasi), for six years. He has written in diverse areas such as Indian epistemology and logic; schools of classical Indian philosophy such as Buddhism, Lok¿yata, Yoga and Jainism; Indian moral philosophy, social philosophy, Indian philosophy of religion and contemporary Buddhism. His research interests have focused on the interface between orthodox and heterodox Indian thought, including between Ny¿ya and Buddhist logical thought.
This book offers a systematic study of the Buddhist roots of P¿tañjalayoga or the Yoga system of Patañjali. By examining each of 195 aphorisms (sutras) of the Yogas¿tra of Patañjali, it shows that it contains elements rooted in the orthodox as well as heterodox traditions.
