Rules Without Meaning is an original study of ritual and mantras which shows that rites lead a life of their own, unaffected by religion or society. In its analysis of Vedic ritual, it uses methods inspired by logic, linguistics, anthropology and Asian studies. New insights are offered into various topics including music, bird song and the origin of language. The discussion culminates in a proposal for a new human science that challenges the current dogma of «the two cultures» of sciences and humanities.

Rules perform a moral function by restating moral principles in concrete terms, so as to reduce the uncertainty, error, and controversy that result when individuals follow their own unconstrained moral judgment. Although reason dictates that we must follow rules to avoid destructive error and controversy, rules—and hence laws—are imperfect, and reason also dictates that we ought not follow them when we believe they produce the wrong result in a particular case. In The Rule of Rules Larry Alexander and Emily Sherwin examine this dilemma. Once the importance of this moral and practical conflict is acknowledged, the authors argue, authoritative rules become the central problems of jurisprudence. The inevitable gap between rules and background morality cannot be bridged, they claim, although many contemporary jurisprudential schools of thought are misguided attempts to do so. Alexander and Sherwin work through this dilemma, which lies at the heart of such ongoing jurisprudential controversies as how judges should reason in deciding cases, what effect should be given to legal precedent, and what status, if any, should be accorded to “legal principles.” In the end, their rigorous discussion sheds light on such topics as the nature of interpretation, the ancient dispute among legal theorists over natural law versus positivism, the obligation to obey law, constitutionalism, and the relation between law and coercion. Those interested in jurisprudence, legal theory, and political philosophy will benefit from the edifying discussion in The Rule of Rules.

Traditional cognitive science ('cognitivism') is Cartesian in the sense that it takes as fundamental the distinction between the mind and the world. This leads to the claim that cognition is representational and best explained by classical AI and computational theory. The authors in this volume develop a critique of cognitivism and introduce an alternative approach -- which owes more to evolutionary biology, embodied robotics, phenomenology and dynamical systems.

This book stands at the crossroads between Jerusalem and Benares and opens a long awaited conversation between two ancient religious traditions. It represents the first serious attempt by a group of eminent scholars of Judaic and Indian studies to take seriously the cross-cultural resonances among the Judaic and Hindu traditions. The essays in the first part of the volume explore the historical connections and influences between the two traditions, including evidence of borrowed elements and the adaptation of Jewish Indian communities to Hindu culture. The essays in the second part focus primarily on resonances between particular conceptual complexes and practices in the two traditions, including comparative analyses of representations of Veda and Torah, legal formulations of dharma and halakhah, and conceptions of union with the Divine in Hindu Tantra and Kabbalah.

In a world where books write themselves, where speech has no speaker, where death illuminates the living, where essences communicate indeterminacies, where things fold upon themselves, and meanings can be un-thought-where truth consumes everything in purifying fires, and machines create worlds for the benefit of the eradicated other-if seen, the unfathomable event of truth has already taken place, and everything must cease to be as it once was. This book explores the concept of the event in Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy alongside the notions of truth and nescience in Sankara's Brahmasūtrabhāşya. Through this lens, it examines the question of articulation by mapping conceptual domains and investigating what occurs between them. This negative field raises fundamental questions about the nature of the self, the role of agency, and the conspicuous absence of meaning in'mantric' sayings-all of which point to a radical 'other' truth. Additional Indian philosophical traditions and practices are incorporated to shed light on significant ways of understanding words and sounds, revealing an unexpected vision of reality. The book also includes a comprehensive and insightful foreword by the esteemed Prof. S. Panneerselvam, General Secretary of the Indian Philosophical Congress and the Chennai Philosophical Forum, and former Professor & Head of the Department of Philosophy, University of Madras, Chennai. His foreword addresses key aspects of both Indian and Western philosophical traditions, providing valuable context for the reader.
