A figure from the books
#Vacaspati
Vācaspati Miśra · c. 900–980 CE
In the books · 1 chapter
Who this is
“Six rival Indian traditions, which agree on almost nothing else, agree on this: the commentary you must read is Vācaspati's. Tradition crowned him sarva-tantra-svatantra — master of every system, independent in each.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The deepest philosophical talent may not be building your own system but understanding everyone else's — so completely that each rival school claims your work as its own classic.”
