『브리하다란야카 우파니샤드 주석서』의 중요성 = The Importance of Sankara`s Brhadaranyaka Upanisad Bhasya: With a Focus on His Pedagogical Methods

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper studies Sankara`s Brhadaranyaka Upanisad Bhasya (henceforth BUBh), which is a commentarial work on the Brhadaranyaka Upanisad, one of the two earliest Upanisads. The BUBh is worth studying as itself since it is very important both in the Upanisadic corpus and in the Advaitin commentarial tradition. It also is to be studied for the following reasons: first, the Upanisads are most fundamental and authoritative among the three main scriptures for the Vedanta tradition, i.e., the Upanisads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutra; second, the BUBh is the longest commentary among all of his commentarial works on the Upanisads and the ideas contained it are as rich as his commentary on the Brahma Sutra; and lastly, the BUBh`s literary style has been revered by some Sanskritists and Indologists. I argue that it is necessary to read this important text BUBh as a whole, not in extracted or summarized forms, in order to understand and relish it better, because the text is arranged in the pedagogical order so that the first portion on the same argument is for the beginners and the later portion on the same argument is for the advanced learners. Through reading the entire text, the philosopher and commentator Sankara turns out to be a careful teacher who greatly cares about how to reveal his teachings to his audience. Therefore, one should read this text from start to end to understand both it and its commentator better.
