Description: Black, building off certain notable forays into narrative analysis of early Sanskrit literature, centers his discussion not on the abstract philosophical ideas themselves, but on the concrete situations in which literary characters discuss them in the early Upanisads. Pursuing various literary figures (most notably, Uddalaka, Svetaketu, Satyakama, Yajnavalkya, Janaka, Ajatasatru) through passages and longer narratives in the Brahmanas and Upanisads, Black's book follows the thematic program of his subtitle: chapter 1 is on teacher/student relationships, chapter 2 on inter-Brahmin debates, chapter 3 on the relationship of kings and Brahmins, and the final chapter on Brahmin men and women.
