For those of you who are podcast listeners, note that in a few days (20 Sept), History of Philosophy without any gaps will premiere a series focusing on India–Jonardon Ganeri will be talking with podcast host Peter Adamson. A tentative list of episodes, below, is also at the link. If you have any other Indian philosophy-related podcasts to recommend to readers, put them in the comments! (I enjoy the New Books Network podcasts, myself–philosophy, Buddhism, Southeast Asian studies.)
Starting Sept 20 on History of Philosophy without any gaps:
Introduction to Indian Philosophy
Historical Overview (periods of Indian thought from antiquity to 20th century)
India in the Vedic Period
The Upaniṣads (3 episodes)
Language in the Grammar of Pāṇini and his Commentators
Challenges to the Brahmanic culture: Buddhists and Jainas
The Buddha (2 episodes)
Political Thought (Aśoka and the Arthaśāstra of Kauṭilya)
The Mahābhārata (2 episodes)

Non-violence
Thanks for this.
Thanks for the plug Malcom! Peter is doing a great job, and the first episode has already been played 16,000 times. There is now also a Timeline: http://historyofphilosophy.net/timeline-india. We are planning to get up to and including Dignāga in this first series. Any feedback on who or what to include, especially thinkers usually overlooked, is most welcome.
Jonardon, great to hear! I look forward to future episodes.
I’m adding the podcasts and timeline to the “resources” section of the Blog.
