F. O. SCHRADER--Uber den Stand der indischen Philosophie zur Zeit Mahaviras and Buddhas.-Strassburg, 1902.
The author states the philosophical opinions (not the systems) which were current in India at the time of Mahāvīra and of Buddha. He enumerates at fitst these opinions ant treats them in a general manner. Afterwards, in so many distinct paragraphs, he speaks of Kala-Väda, of the Svabhava-vada, Niyati-väda, Yadrecha-vāda, of the Alma-Vada, Isvara-vāda, Ajñana-vāda, of the materialistic and atomical theories and at last of the eight kinds of Akriya-vadins.
The work is quite entirely written after the Jain documents, in particular after the commentary of Malayagiri on the Nandis ütra and after the comment of Silānka on the 'Sütrakrtanga'. However the following pages concern specially the Jainism.
