Coming up on the India series
Since we are drawing to a close with the first, "Origins" section of the India series, here is a preview of what will come up in the second section, which we are calling the "Age of the Sutra." Note that we will have several episodes on some topics, e.g. three or four on the Nyaya school; so this is a tentative list of topics rather than episodes (also, there will be additional interviews as always). Following this section, there will be a third and final mini-series on Buddhist and Jaina texts in the same period.
Introduction to the Age of the Sūtra
Arguments for and Against Ritual
Mimamsa
The Vedānta-sūtra
Medicine and Indian philosophy
Gautama’s Nyāya-sūtra
Kaṇāda’s Vaiśeṣika-sūtra
Naturalism
Bṛhaspati’s Cārvāka-sūtra
Īśvarakṛṣṇa’s Sāṃkhya-kārikā
Patañjali’s Yoga-sūtra
nice vid on the cynics, but
nice vid on the cynics, but you meant "flout" not "flaunt".

Oops! Yes, I'm sure you're
Oops! Yes, I'm sure you're right. I was speaking without a script so that sort of thing happens easily.
Hi Peter, I notice that this
Hi Peter, I notice that this list doesn't seem to include developments in ancient physics or mathematics (e.g. Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara I). GIven that you did cover analogous figures in the Western tradition (e.g. Euclid, Archimedes, Ptolemy), why, may I ask, is this? Is it just a reflection of the highly technical nature of their works, or should it be taken to imply that Indian mathematics and physics has little philosophical interest?
I also remember Kit Patrick saying that you'd be doing an episode on Rasa, but I don't seem to see anything of that sort here. Has the episode been jettisoned?

You're keeping a close eye on
You're keeping a close eye on things! The answer is no and yes: we're not planning an episode on Indian mathematics, thought I guess I agree that would probably be good in principle (the Vaisesika part will actually include a brief mention of astronomy and some stuff on physics though). But we are planning to do one on aesthetics, in part because of Kit's nudging us to do so!

Thanks for the quick reply. I
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll see if I can get Kit to do one then.
