- Double-weighted statement
- The claim for double weighting rests on extended, necessarily complex research investigating selfhood in depth through close reading of Sanskrit texts, and philosophical analysis of the underlying concepts. This spanned the contexts of Upanisadic, Epic, and Sutric literature from the perspectives of materiality, agency, and reason. A complex, multi-layered process of creative investigation was used to elicit implicit metaphysical models, and construct frameworks for global theorising. This was necessarily an extended piece: an article could illuminate only one theme or text; the book’s premise that these texts reflect shared debates required work on a large body of complex material.
