The Philosophy of the Yogasutra: An Introduction (Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies) by Karen O’Brien-Kop
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.4 MB
Overview: Karen O’Brien-Kop’s introduction to the Yogasutra highlights its status as a significant work of philosophy. Approaching the Yogasutra as living philosophy, this book elucidates philosophical conceptions of yoga, recognises the logical structure the sutras follow and explains the rules and principles that have sustained Patañjali’s system of thought for centuries.
Moving beyond standard interpretations of Patañjali’s text and commentary as an aphoristic practice manual, O’Brien-Kop uses branches of philosophy to read the Yogasutra. Covering reality, self, ethics, language and knowledge, Patañjali’s philosophies come to the fore. The book introduces his reasoned positions on dual and nondual metaphysics, the relationship between mind and body, the qualities of consciousness, the nature of freedom, and how to live ethically.
