The project aims at reconsidering concepts such as „authoritality,“ „originality,“ „innovation,“ and „plagiarism“ by analyzing the form of textual reuse within Indian philosophy. This analysis will show how such concepts need to be re-defined in the Sanskrit koiné and often also in other contexts, including the Western one. The goal of the project is the publication of collected essays on the reuse of texts, in which different Indian philosophical and śāstric traditions are analyzed.
