47The Reuse of Texts in Indian Philosophy: IntroductionJournal of Indian Philosophy 43 (2-3): 85-108. 2015.The study of textual reuse is of fundamental importance in reconstructing lost or partially lost texts, passages of which can be partly recovered through other texts in which they have been embedded. Furthermore, the study of textual reuse also provides one with a deeper understanding of the modalities of the production of texts out of previous textual materials.

The Problem of “Meaning” in Jayanta’s Nyāyamañjarī, Book 5In Patrick McAllister & Helmut Krasser (eds.), Jayanta on Buddhist Nominalism, . pp. 251-290. 2017.The authors make an attempt to comparatively analyse some stances of the Old Indian philosophy of language, exemplified by the Medieval Indian author Jayanta, along with the Western tradition of the analytical philosophy of language, and to highlight the differences as well as the similarities. The main focus is on Jayanta's discussion of the meaning vs. reference problem.

25Quotations, References, etc. A Glance on the Writing Habits of a Late MīmāṃsakaJournal of Indian Philosophy 43 (2-3): 219-255. 2015.Rāmānujācārya’s Tantrarahasya, a philosophical treatise mainly dedicated to the hermeneutics and epistemology of the Pūrva Mīmāṃsā School, might be considered hardly more than a jigsaw of reused passages, since one third of it has a direct source, and a further third has its roots in interlanguage usage. It is thus a perfect case study for investigating the compositional habits of philosophical authors in pre-modern śāstra literature. The article analyses the formal aspects of textual reuse by R…Read more
