First Edition
First Edition. First edition, 8vo, pp. xix, [3], 398, [2]; a fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. Issued as no. 40 in the publisher's Vishveshvaranand Indological series. "The Pratyabhijña Darsana (the Doctrine of Recognition), is the main philosophical system of the Kashmir Saivas. The school emerged in the second half of the ninth century and developed in two stages, the earlier as represented by Som?nanda's Sivady?ti and the later by Urpaladeva's I?vara Pratyabhijña Karika and its exposition by Abhinavagupta. An attempt is made in this work to discuss about the origin and development of the system and to affiliate it to the thought of the Upanisads. The work reviews also the allied philosophical movements in India and the West and indicates what specific contribution the Pratyabhijñ? makes to philosophy" (Foreword).
