 SYNOPSIS

The second volume of Purva-paksa, which features essays and presentations associated with events hosted by the BIHS, will include nearly a dozen new articles on more recent research involving Puranic cosmology, epistemology, and hermeneutics.

There are a number of profound aspirational objectives identified with an ancient term like pūrva-pakṣa, an intellectual exercise reminiscent of dialectical hermeneutics. The aim of this journal is to feature recent research of scholars who wish to examine the ideas and practices identified with the traditions of the Indian subcontinent, while considering their relevance in a contemporary context. The objective is to invite a modern pūrva-pakṣa involving participants confident in personal convictions, enthused to analyze from different perspectives, and open to the test of critical examination in a manner that stimulates productive scholarly discourse.
