The Brahma-sutra, attributed to Badaraya (ca. 400 CE), is the canonical book of Vedanta, the philosophical tradition which became the doctrinal backbone of modern Hinduism. This is the first introduction to concentrate on the text and its ideas, rather than its reception and interpretation in the different schools of Vedanta. Covering the epistemology, ontology, theory of causality and psychology of the Brahma-sutra and its characteristic theodicy, it also provides a comprehensive account of its doctrine of meditation, draws the contours of Brahma-sutra's intellectual biography and contextualises its teachings against the background of its main collocutors.
