Description

John Nemec examines the beginnings of the non-dual tantric philosophy of the famed Pratyabhijna or "Recognition [of God]" School of tenth-century Kashmir, the tradition most closely associated with Kashmiri Shaivism. In doing so it offers, for the very first time, a critical edition and annotated translation of a large portion of the first Pratyabhijna text ever composed, the Sivadrsti of Somananda. In an extended introduction, Nemec argues that the author presents a unique form of non-dualism, a strict pantheism that declares all beings and entities found in the universe to be fully identical.;Cover; Abbreviations; Part I: Introduction to the Translation; Part Ii: The Translation; Part Iii: The Edition; Bibliography; Alphabetical Index of the Half-Verses of Sd 1-3; Index of References to the Ipk and Ipvr; Index of Key Authors, Terms, and Textual References.
