Description: Rediscovering God with Transcendental Argument provides a comparative philosophical study of the Pratyabhijna system of the medieval Kashmiri Saiva thinkers Utpaladeva and Abhinavagupta. Beginning with intensive descriptive and prescriptive reflections on the nature of philosophy itself, the book examines the special characteristics of the Pratyabhijna discourse as both philosophical apologetics and spiritual exercise.
