Description
Der vorliegende Band ist dem Andenken des Indologen und Philosophen Wilhelm Halbfass (1940-2000) gewidmet, der wie kein anderer zwischen der indischen und europäischen Geisteswelt vermittelt hat, und würdigt seinen Beitrag zu einem philosophisch differenzierten methodisch reflektierten Verständnis der indischen Geistesgeschichte, insbesondere der Philosophiegeschichte und der Geschichte der geistigen Begegnung zwischen Indien und Europa. Zugleich dokumentieren die Beiträge in diesem Band, auf welche Bereiche der Erforschung der indischen Geistesgeschichte und welche Disziplinen Halbfass inspirierend gewirkt hat. Auf ein Vorwort von E. Franco folgen in sechs Kapiteln angeordnete Aufsätze von 48 Autoren.
