Much Ado about Religion: Part 2

How does a 9th century Nyaya philosopher addresses the intersection of religious conflict and ruling power in India? Are feelings of offense reason to exclude certain religious practices? What lessons can we take from Nyaya philosophers on religious toleration, and are they internally consistent here? To read the whole play, get the Clay Sanskrit Library translation of Much Ado about Religion by Csaba Dezsö, published 2005 by NYU Press. https://nyupress.org/9780814719794/much-ado-about-religion/ Maniacal laugh sound effect from: https://freesound.org/s/367738/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malcolm-keating/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malcolm-keating/support
