I guess you mean a...Hi Michael and thanks for that. I guess you mean anicca (=anitya, impermanence) and anatta (=anātman, the confutation of a self), isn't it? Whatever the case, I do not quote out of the BSBh just because I am not very familiar with it (I only read the portion concerning the interpretation of jijñāsā as NOT a desire). This is not due to the desire to have an indological career (since an indological career seems at the moment a *contradictio in obiecto*), but rather to the fact that I have never had the pleasure of reading Śaṅkara with a teacher and, hence, I am quite cautious with him. BUT, I would be glad if you would add some insights out of his writings. This is a further evidence of the fact that a multi-authored blog is a desideratum (see: http://elisafreschi.blogspot.com/2010/06/indological-blog-or-forum.html).elisa freschihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17068583874519657894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641738716446631837.post-33982274769450835442010-08-03T14:59:46.341+02:002010-08-03T14:59:46.341+02:00I've noticed that you never mention the works ...I've noticed that you never mention the works of Shankaracarya when discussing annica and annata. B.S.B. offers many cogent arguments against those positions some of them prevising positions that are quite contemporary in Western Philosophy. I understand that to the professional scholar this niche may be already quite populated and the chance that something new might emerge would seem remote and therefore not a good career option. This I believe to be mistaken however in general discussion to leave out the many and varied arguments of Shankara is to give a less than complete picture of the problem field.michael reidynoreply@blogger.com
