Abstract
The modern study of Indian intellectual disciplines has often forced them into a Western disciplinary taxonomy. The analogies introduced by this taxonomy, the objectivity of which is largely illusory, are sometimes misleading, and rely on Western intellectual techniques which are themselves unavoidably historical. Resorting to such Western categories as “indology”, “philosophy” and “reason”, but also to Indian ones like “śāstra” inevitably raises theoretical objections. This volume uses “scholasticism” in a broad sense, not in the medieval conception of the term. Its aim is to shed new light on the relationship between Indian scholastic practices and the emergence of systems, their crises and aporias, as well as on scholastics’ limited apprehension of facts and their problematic dialectics with concrete practices. The contributions illustrating these questions here relate to techniques of exegesis and debate, doctrines, grammar, law, ritual, poetics and astronomy.
