Daya Krishna (1924-2007) was one of the most creative philosophers of the second half of the 20th century. His thought and philosophical energy dominated academic Indian philosophy, and determined the nature of the engagement of Indian philosophy with Western philosophy during that period. Daya Krishna and Twentieth-Century Indian Thought explores his philosophy, recognizing its links with both Indian and Western philosophies. Drawing on the work of a number of contemporary Indian philosophers, including Krishnachandra Bhattacharyya, J.N. Mohanty, Ramchandra Gandhi, Mukund Lath, Yashdev Shalya, and Arindam Chakrabarti, each section in this book begins with an introductory preface to a key text, explaining the significance of it within Krishna's philosophical corpus. With previously-unpublished letters between Krishna and his interlocutors and accessible English translations accompanied by a glossary, this is an engaging introduction to anyone interested in the life and work of Krishna.

We are presented with predicaments at every turn. At times these predicaments seem to be aggravated by social structure. At other times they are cushioned by it. Philosophical tangles tied ...
In medieval Japan (14th–16th centuries), it was customary for elite families to entrust their young sons to the care of renowned Buddhist priests from whom they received a premier education in Buddhist scriptures, poetry, music, and dance. When the boys reached adolescence, some underwent coming-of-age rites, others entered the priesthood, and several extended their education, becoming chigo, or Buddhist acolytes. Chigo served their masters as personal attendants and as sexual partners. During religious ceremonies—adorned in colorful robes, their faces made up and hair styled in long ponytails—they entertained local donors and pilgrims with music and dance. Stories of acolytes (chigo m...
