The present volume provides an annotated English translation of the last section of Dharmak¤rti's Pram¤¤av¤rttikasvav¤tti (PVSV 164,24-176,16, ad stanzas 1.312-340), which includes his final assault on the M¤m¤¤s¤ doctrine of the author lessness (apauru¤eyatva) of the Veda. Dharmak¤rti draws out the apparently fatal consequences of this doctrine: If the Vedic scriptures are without an author, hence without an underlying intention, they can only be meaningless. Even if they have a meaning, it must be supersensible. But then, claiming that the leading M¤m¤¤saka authorities - Jaimini, ¤abara - possessed privileged cognitive access to its supersensible meaning is not an option, since the M¤m¤¤saka denies that humans have any supernatural form of knowledge. In short, Dharmak¤rti forces his opponent to admit that the Veda is nothing but a mutus liber, a "mute book." Besides questioning the very possibility of Vedic hermeneutics under M¤m¤¤saka presuppositions, the passage translated contains interesting allusions to Dharmak¤rti's linguistic theory, his views on scriptural authority, his critique of the Veda's reliability, and his understanding of the transmission of the Veda and Vedic ¤¤kh¤s ("schools", "recensions"). The section includes Dharmak¤rti's polemics against a mysterious v¤ddham¤m¤¤saka ("ancient M¤m¤¤saka"). An introduction (pp. 7-21: "The Place of PVSV 164,24-176,16 in the work of Dharmak¤rti," by V. Eltschinger), a synopsis of contents (pp. 23-30) and two independent essays round off the volume. H. Krasser's "Logic in a Religious Context: Dharmak¤rti in Defence of ¤gama" (pp. 83-118) sheds new light on Dharmak¤rti's conception of scriptural authority and its indebtedness to Dign¤ga. J. Taber's "Dharmak¤rti and the M¤m¤¤sakas in Conflict" (pp. 119-149) explores the guiding principles of the M¤m¤¤s¤ system of exegesis and assesses the relevance of Dharmak¤rti's arguments against it. A general bibliography and various indices complete the volume.

Shattering the Illusion is the first book to gather and comparatively analyze policies addressing child sexual abuse complaints in a selection of religious institutions in Canada. Although there is a substantial body of literature regarding Christianity and sexual abuse, very little of it focuses on religious institutions in Canada and their respective policies. In the foreword, Tracy J. Trothen summarizes the Cornwall Inquiry, out of which this book arose. She then examines the Roman Catholic Church, The United Church of Canada, the Anglican Church, the Mennonite Church, Islam, and the Canadian Unitarian Council/Unitarian Universalist Association, describing in detail the evolution and particular content of policies and procedures that address child sexual abuse complaints directed at paid and volunteer faith community representatives and/ or leaders. She identifies differences and common themes among the approaches taken by the institutions and provides a summary table for an accessible comparative overview. Child sexual abuse is not new, but the emergence of policies to address abuse complaints within religious institutions is. This book identifies significant and shared causal factors behind the emergence of policy and reviews their content carefully. This review will serve as a significant tool for furthering the development of such policies.
