Abstract

The present volume explores a specific aspect of creativity in South Asian systems of knowledge, literature and rituals. Under the heading of “adaptive reuse,” it discusses the relationship between innovation and perpetuation of earlier forms and contents of knowledge and aesthetic expressions within the process of creating new works. Although this relation rarely became the topic of explicit reflections in the South Asian intellectual traditions, it is here investigated by taking a closer look at the treatment of older materials by later authors., "Adaptive Reuse" ist ein wichtiges theoretisches Konzept aus dem Bereich der Architektur. Dort bezeichnete es die Verwendung eines teilweise umgebauten Gebäudes zu andern Zwecken als denen seiner ursprünglichen Errichtung. Im vorliegenden Band wird dieses Konzept zum ersten Mal auf ein weiteres Spektrum kulturellen Schaffens übertragen, nämlich auf die Komposition von Texten und auf die Kreation neuer Konzepte und Rituale

12. M\=im\=a\d{m}s\=a deontic logic: proof theory and applications

Author

Ciabattoni, Agata, Freschi, Elisa, Genco, Francesco A., and Lellmann, Björn

Subjects
Computer Science - Logic in Computer Science
Abstract

Starting with the deontic principles in M\={\i}m\=a\d{m}s\=a texts we introduce a new deontic logic. We use general proof-theoretic methods to obtain a cut-free sequent calculus for this logic, resulting in decidability, complexity results and neighbourhood semantics. The latter is used to analyse a well known example of conflicting obligations from the Vedas., Comment: 16 pages, published in the proceedings of Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods - 24th International Conference, TABLEAUX 2015, Wroc{\l}aw, Poland, September 21-24, 2015.

34. The Principle of Suspension (bādha) in Early Mīmāṃsā: the Case of prāpta- and aprāptabādha.

Author

Ferrante, Marco and Freschi, Elisa

Subjects
*THEORY of knowledge
Abstract

This article examines the notion of bādha or 'suspension', one of the primary hermeneutical devices the Mīmāṃsā school of Sanskrit philosophy implemented to avoid seeming clashes between different commands of the Veda. Through bādha , a Vedic injunction can temporarily be suspended to allow for the unchallenged application of another. In all other cases, the first command remains valid, and its authority is therefore not undermined. This essay analyses the history of the device within early Mīmāṃsā, elaborates on how to decide which of two clashing commands should be suspended, and examines the crucial distinction between a suspension of something 'obtained' and that of something that is 'not obtained yet'.

45. Getting into the mind of Medhatithi

Author

Freschi, Elisa

Abstract

This paper analyses Medhatithi’s discussion of corporal punishment, with special reference to the debate staged in his commentary on MDh 8.318. His arguments are extremely sophisticated, especially because of the application of Mimamsa-influenced reasoning rules. The paper makes implicit steps and unspoken hypotheses explicit and highlights the selection process through which Medhatithi finally selects one solution to the controversy he examines over the others. For some instances of possible candidates: Is analogical reasoning able to provide stronger support than, for example, authoritative statements? What role does inner consistency play? Which criterion wins in case of conflicts among different textual passages? To test the inner-consistency criterion, the paper tackles the issue of corporal punishment as discussed in different contexts and tries to solve the seeming clashes that arise when different texts by Medhatithi are juxtaposed. It concludes by seeing Medhatithi’s commentary on MDh 8.318 as the culmination of a systematisation attempt regarding all cases of corporal punishment as distinctly ordained based on the purpose to be achieved.
