Rezensionen

"Owen Ware's instructive and at times even entertaining study of the reception of Yoga philosophy in nineteenth century Germany is a valuable contribution to current attempts to look beyond overly narrow constructions of the philosophical canon. And the final chapter, which addresses the early twentieth century Calcutta philosophers is an important addition to the study of world philosophies."

Robert Bernasconi, Penn State University, USA

"The monolithic civilizational narrative of "Western philosophy" is undergoing serious critical reflection, and Owen Ware builds on existing scholarship and offers further revision in this study. Following "yoga" down its pathways in post-Enlightenment German

philosophy, Ware offers an accessible account of the cross-cultural anxiety of influence that lingers in modern philosophy, and-even more importantly-an account of the South Asian intellectuals who came to know this narrative and answered in no uncertain terms."

Bradley L. Herling, Marymount Manhattan College, USA

"Indian Philosophy and Yoga in Germany is a compelling book because it demonstrates the point that much of nineteenth-century European philosophy was constructed on the back of Indian philosophy and because it discusses Modern Indian Philosophy, which is often ignored in Anglophone academia. This intellectual history therefore lends more evidence to important endeavours to globalise philosophy and to put yoga philosophy on the academic map."

Karen O'Brien-Kop, King's College London, Journal of Religious History

"Indian Philosophy and Yoga in Germany is an outstanding and highly recommended book, which engages both the history of philosophy and comparative philosophy...highly recommended for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars."

Rick Elmore, Appalachian State University, USA

"Much of the material discussed in Indian Philosophy and Yoga in Germany was previously tucked away in obscure scholarly corners. By bringing to light a cross-cultural conversation spanning two centuries, Owen Ware's indispensable study corrects, enriches and perhaps even transforms the familiar picture of our philosophical inheritance."

Clare Carlisle, The Times Literary Supplement
