Content: I will present important texts of Kashmir Shivaism in the lecture. Special attention is directed to the strict rational method of thought. In this way the usual "poetical" access to the text can be rejected. The central figure of this movement is Abhinavagupta (10 Jhd.), whose philosophy focuses on the "heart". The lecture thus sees itself also as an introduction into a philosophy of the heart.
Method: Lecture with Questions and Answers.
