Bøker av Jonardon Ganeri

In this short book about the philosophy of the poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), Jonardon Ganeri highlights connections with earlier philosophical poets, from Keats to Shakespeare and from Coleridge to Whitman. Ganeri emphasises Pessoa's originality, and his radical break from Christian and Islamic thinking about human flourishing. A key feature of this book is that it highlights affinities with ideas from works of philosophical fiction in classical India, and it examines Pessoa's own engagement with Indian poetry and philosophy.

Jonardon Ganeri explores philosophical reflections from many of the world's intellectual cultures, ancient and modern, on how each of us creates an inner world. This book is a thought-provoking consideration of the value-or peril-of turning one's gaze inward for all readers who have sought to map the geography of the mind.

The articles in this volume are all landmarks in the evolution of modern studies in Indian logic. The book traces the development of modern studies in Indian logic from their beginnings right up to 1998. Each of the articles has very specific reasons for its inclusion.

Bringing the analytical approach of modern philosophy to bear upon the literature of ancient and classical India, Ganeri explains and explores the central methods, concepts and devices of a rich, sophisticated philosophical tradition.
