Analogy in Indian and Western Philosophical Thought
This book is unusual in many respects. It was written by a prolific author whose tragic untimely death did not allow to finish this and many other of his undertakings. It was assembled from numerous excerpts, notes, and fragments according to his initial plans. Zilberman’s legacy still awaits its true discovery and this book is a second installment to it after The Birth of Meaning in Hindu Thought (Kluwer, 1988). Zilberman’s treatment of analogy is unique in its approach, scope, and universality for Western philosophical thought. Constantly compared to eastern and especially classical Indian interpretations, analogy is presented by Zilberman as an important and in many ways primary method of philosophizing or philosophy-building. Due to its universality, this method can be also applied in linguistics, logic, social analysis, as well as historical and anthropological research. These applications are integral part of Zilberman’s book. A prophetic leap to largely uncharted territories, this book could be of considerable interest for experts and novices in the field of analogy alike.

Cultural Parks and National Heritage Areas
The number of cultural parks has been steadily increasing in recent years throughout the world. But what is a cultural park? This book provides a detailed answer to this question and sets out the basis for an academic debate that moves beyond the technical narratives that have prevailed to date. It is important to open up the topic to academic scrutiny given that cultural parks are becoming widespread devices being employed by different institutions and social groups to manage and enhance cultural and natural heritage assets and landscapes. The main problem in dealing with this topic is the predominant lack of theory-grounded, critical reflection in the literature about cultural parks. These...
Greater Magadha
Through a detailed analysis of the available cultural and chronological data, this book overturns traditional ideas about the cultural history of India and proposes a different picture instead. The idea of a unilinear development out of Brahmanism, in particular, is challenged.
Prabhupáda
Toto je výtah ze šestisvazkové „Šríla Prabhupáda-lílámrty“, autorizovaného životopisu Šríly Prabhupády, v podobě snadno čitelného formátu jedné knihy. O „Lílámrtě“ Stillson Judah, zesnulý emeritní profesor na Graduate Theological Union / Pacific School of Religion, napsal: „Toto dílo je výmluvný hold památce muže, který hrál hlavní roli v americké náboženské historii během kontrakulturních 60. a 70. let. Poskytuje bohatý zdroj informací učencům a všem ostatním se zájmem o hnutí, které Prabhupáda přinesl do Ameriky z Indie.“
Rules Without Meaning
Rules Without Meaning is an original study of ritual and mantras which shows that rites lead a life of their own, unaffected by religion or society. In its analysis of Vedic ritual, it uses methods inspired by logic, linguistics, anthropology and Asian studies. New insights are offered into various topics including music, bird song and the origin of language. The discussion culminates in a proposal for a new human science that challenges the current dogma of «the two cultures» of sciences and humanities.
The History of Indian Literature
First Published in 2000. This title is Volume 10 in the 14-volume series titled India: Language and Literature, one of the Trüber's Oriental Series. The lectures in this volume were presented to the narrow circle fellows in this field of study. This publication will now reach the wider circle of those interested and those researchers of the history of literature generally. The form in which these lectures appear is essentially the same in which they were delivered while incidental remarks are given as footnotes and new matter has been added.
The Brhad-Devata
Brhat-devata is an index of the `many gods', a much more extensive work than any of the other Anukramanis, as it contains about 1200 slokas interspersed with occasional tristubhs. It is divided into eight adhyayas corresponding to the astakas of the Rg-veda. Following the order of the Rg-veda, its main object is to state the deity for each verse. But as it contains a large number of illustrative myths and legends, it is of great value as an early collection of stories. A peculiarity of this work is that it refers to a number of supplementary hymns (khilas) which do not form part of the canonical text of the Rg-veda. Part I is critically edited in the original Sanskrit with an introduction and seven appendices and Part II contains English translation and notes.
