"This book is intended for course use. It explores the range of political and religious issues at work when ISIS wields their sledgehammers and bombs to destroy or damage important cultural sites in the Middle East--like statues in the Mosul Museum, temples at Palmyra. Focusing on a video ISIS released when they destroyed artifacts in Mosul, the author examines three key aspects of the event: the status and power of idols, the institution of museums, and the efficacy of videos in furthering an ideological agenda"--

Abstract
In the paper, the author addresses the question of Dharmakīrti's philosophical identity afresh. While acknowledging both the elements, external realism of Sautrāintika and idealism of Yogācāra, the author does disagree with the claim which is sometimes made, that Dharmakīrti's idealism as his ultimate position and accepts realism only at conventional level. The author shows how Dharmakīrti in Pramāṇavārttika oscillates between the two positions and that he must have been attracted to both the positions for different reasons. He was attracted to idealism from critical point of view, when he was critical about the limitations of Sautrāntika realism (which itself can be called critical realism). He was attracted to realism for its capacity to explain the diverse phenomena and lead human beings to their goals. The author denies the claim made by some scholars that Dharmakīrti's idealism can be called just an epistemic one. He argues that it did have a metaphysical dimension which is hard to defend. The author shows that Dharmakīrti's idealist stance has adverse implications to the realist epistemology and logic which constitute his mainstream position; the implications, which Dharmakīrti does not take up for discussion.
