About the Book

English summary: Namarupa (literally "name and form") is widely known as a Buddhist term used to denote the the five "groups" (P. khandhas, Sk. skandhas) of which the individual is said to consist and also appears in the formula of "dependent origination" (P. paticcasamuppada, Sk. pratityasmutpada). Less well known is the fact that namarupa is also found in the early Upanisads. This book explores the connection between the "pre-Buddhist" namarupa and its Buddhist interpretation as the five khandas. The range of texts analysed in this work is particularly broad. The first part of the book considers the relationship between naman and rupa in early Vedic texts-such as the Rgveda and the Atharvaveda-before discussing the different ways in which namarupa is used in the Upanisads. The second part of the book is devoted to namarupa in the Pali Canon and deals extensively with the passages that seem to predate the systematisation of the skandha-theory and the formula of dependent origination in the Abhidharma-for instance those presenting a nine- or a ten-member version of the paticcasamuppada. The author furthers our understanding of namarupa by not only offering a well-grounded analysis of the gradual development of the concept, but also by alerting us to the pitfalls of conflating modern notions of names, language and individuality with those in early Buddhist texts and the Upanisads. German description: Namarupa (wortlich "Name und Gestalt") ist weithin bekannt als buddhistische Bezeichnung fur ein Individuum, das aus den funf Gruppen (P. khandhas, Sk. skandhas) besteht, und ebenfalls als eines der Glieder in der Formel der Entstehung in Abhangigkeit (P. paticcasamuppada, Sk. pratityasmutpada). Weniger bekannt ist allerdings, dass namarupa auch schon in den fruhen Upanisaden anzutreffen ist. Dieses Buch beschaftigt sich mit dem Zusammenhang zwischen dem "vorbuddhistischen" namarupa und dessen buddhistischer Interpretation als den funf khandas. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Umfang der untersuchten Texte, die dieser Studie zu Grunde liegen. Die Autorin beginnt mit einer sorgfaltigen Analyse der Beziehung zwischen naman und rupa in fruhen vedischen Texten -wie dem Rgveda und dem Atharvaveda-, bevor sie auf die unterschiedlichen Verwendungsweisen von namarupa in den Upanisaden zu sprechen kommt. Der zweite Teil des Buches ist namarupa im Pali-Kanon gewidmet und befasst sich ausfuhrlich mit den Textstellen, die alter zu sein scheinen als die Systematisierung der skhandha-Theorie und der Formel des abhangigen Entstehens vonseiten des Abhidharma - so etwa die Texte, in denen von einer neun- oder zehngliedrigen Formel die Rede ist. Die Autorin liefert eine gut fundierte Studie der allmahlichen Entwicklung des Begriffes und tragt damit zu einem besseren Verstandnis von namarupa bei, ohne dabei der Versuchung zu erliegen, moderne Auffassungen von Namen, Sprache und Individualitat auf fruhbuddhistische Texte bzw. auf die Upanisaden zu projizieren.
