Confronted with a series of volumes called the Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies, one is likely to ask, what constitutes philosophy in the relevant sense? Introductions to understood as investigation of the nature of and path (s) to liberation from rebirth (moksa; nirvana), a definition which seems to fit most Indian schools of thought as taught and practiced in the classical period (500 B.C. 1000 A.D.), whether Jain, Buddhist or Hindu. These schools persists for the most part into the twenty-first century, though concern for liberation is in some cases overshadowed by the rise of a commitment to religious purposes, understood broadly as bhakti or devotion to God. The system that is the subject of the present volume is one such devotional system. As this volume demonstrates, the concern of this system is two fold: liberation is accepted, but downplayed in the face of the requirements of true devotion. The system is but one representative of devotional systems, other such systems, equally deserving of a volume devoted to them (such as Suddhadvaita), are regretably not planned for inclusion in this Encyclopedia.

Volume Seventeen concludes the series of the Encyclopedia dealing with jain philosophy (Volumes 10,14 and 17) bringing its development to the present day. In his Introduction, Piotr Balcerowicz provides a formalized classification of the basics of the Jain theory of seven-fold modal description (saptabhangi or syadvada), which, as he explains. "gives a complete account of all perspectives relevant in the verbal description of a thing. (jacket).

This Volume deals with the philosophies of Purva Mimamsa, one of two schools of Mimamsa traditionally considered systems of Hindu philosophical thought. 'Mimamsa', as used classically, has among its meanings that of an "exploration" or "investigation" of something. In the context of early Vedic thought, it can mean specifically a theory governing the origins, basic values, and assumptions about man, in particular about the type of actions a human should or should not perform, as suggested and sometimes spelled out in the Vedas. The Vedas, the oldest extant literature of what is now considered Hinduism, generated a vast literature of their own. Some of this passed down to us in the form of brief pronouncements called sutras, which were presumably meant for memorization and were not always independently intelligible. These sutras in turn generated explanatory commentaries, and commentaries upon commentaries. The basic sutras of what came to be the Purva Mimamsa system were known as the Mimamsa-sutras or Purvamimamsasutras ('Purva' since another set of literature expounding a different understanding of ultimate things came to be recognized also as Mimamsa, specifically "Uttara" or later Mimamsa.) Initially the Purva Mimamsa had no special recognition of the subject matter of philosophy as understood in these volumes of our Encyclopedia, and would not warrant treatment as Indian philosophy in other systems developed ideas concerning the assumptions of rebirth, transmigration, and the possibility of attainment of final liberation, Purva Mimamsa also developed a philosophical system in response, beginning with further commentaries on their sutras and proceeding on to independent works, comprising a collection of texts which constitutes the philosophy being studied in the present Volume.

All too frequently the term Vedanta is used when what is meant, whether recognized or not, is Advaita Vedanta and more specifically, the philosophical system associated with Sankaracarya. Yet in fact Vedanta, literally meaning "the concluding portions of the Veda", i.e., the Upanisads, is properly used in Indian philosophy to designate those systems that take such texts as the Upanisads authoritatively along with a few others such as the Brahmasutras, alternatively known as the Vedantasutras. There are a goodly number of philosophical systems, other than Sankara's, that fall into the classification of Vedanta systems, many of them virtually unknown to most students. The names of many of the Vedanta systems derive from their respective theories concerning the relation between Brahman, celebrated in the Upanisads as the highest principle, and Atman, the individual self. Advaita argues these are identical, non-different (abheda); Dvaita says they are completely different (bheda). Other Vedantic systems resist these extremes and argue that the relation between Brahman and self is one of identity-in-difference (bhedabheda). The best-known such system is the Visistadvaita system of Ramanuja and the Srivaisnavas, but there are many others. Here in this Volume the literature of several others of this bhedabheda persuasion-those associated with the names of Bhartr-prapanca, Bhaskara and Srikantha-are explored.

Madhva the founding figure of the Dvaita system of philosophy, states the major tenets of his philosophical system in a nutshell in his Mahabharata-tatparyanirnaya 1.70-71: The flow of the world is real together with its five fold difference: 1. The difference between God and jivas (i.e. the individual selves); 2. The mutual differences (s) among the jivas; 3. The difference (s) between God and jada (i.e. inert) objects; 4. The mutual differences (s) among the jada objects; 5. The difference between the jada objects and the individual selves. These differences are permanent and will continue forever. These differences will continue ever after liberation. The hierarchy of the jivas will also continue even after liberation. Madhva's is the first of those systems labeled "Vedanta" to espouse such a sweeping set of distinct kinds of real entities. Notably, the Advaita system of Samkara denied any differences at all, labelling all such distinctions at best anirvacaniya, impossible to speak of consistently. Madhava's passage, quoted above, states his disagreement with such a position in as extreme terms as is possible. Besides forming an importance school of thought in its own right, Madhva provided the backdrop to the "modern period of Indian thought in which even the importance of liberation and the basic assumptions concerning it came into question (jacket).

This volume's coverage is limited to the works in Sanskrit that continue the classical tradition, although their authors include many who taught at British-founded institutions or served in traditions asramas and tols.

He is among the latest (1473-1532) to found a wel-known Vedanta school. Although devotion (bhakti) is of central importance in his system, this by no means implies a lack of philosophical acumen on his part or among his followers. The school produced many works of philosophical analysis, and we may count among Vallabhacarya's followers a master of philosophical analysis, Purusottama, of the eighteenth century. Purusottama is one of the most prolific authors in the history of Indian philosophy. Over seventy of his important works are treated in this volume, and he probably wrote one hundres more.
