The History of the Arthasastra: Sovereignty and Sacred Law in Ancient India - Ideas in Context
McClish, Mark (Northwestern University, Illinois)
The Arthasastra is the foundational text of Indic political thought. By analyzing its early history, Mark McClish overturns prevailing beliefs that ancient India was governed by religion and shows that this text originally espoused a political philosophy characterized by empiricism and pragmatism, ignoring the sacred mandate of dharma altogether.
