Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions

by Wendy Doniger

Karma is perhaps the central concept in Indian Philosophy, but there is no comprehensive study of its various meanings or philosophical implications. Leading American Indologists met on several occasions to discuss their ideas about Karma. The result is this useful thought-provoking volume.

I really don't understand why this book had so poor review. The essays in this volume describe the developments of karma and rebirth theory in major Indian religions. Well written, it accomplished its purposes. I really recommend this book to people interested in the Indian classic thought about this argument.
