Matter and Mind: The Vaiśeṣika Sūtra of Kaṇāda

Matter and MindÂ is a new translation of the nearly 2,500-year oldÂ VaiÅ›eá¹£ika SÅ«tra of Kaá¹‡Äda together with an introductoryÂ essay and aÂ commentary. TheÂ VaiÅ›eá¹£ika SÅ«traÂ is one of the mostÂ important texts in the history ofÂ science that has not received the attention it deserves. It presents an ontology of reality that includes four kinds of fundamental atoms, two of which have mass and two that do not, as well as minds and consciousness. It also presents symmetry principles that it uses to infer properties of the basic atoms.Â Kaá¹‡Äda's laws of motion are nearly identical to those of Newton.
