Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This book refigures an ancient indigenous way of knowing and being practiced by the Tamil people for present times, by tracing the origin and structure of this philosophical tradition that has been continually evolving since the pre-Holocene epoch. Tiṇai is both the world of this philosophy as well as a way of living harmoniously with all beings of this world.
This book illustrates how this philosophy was practiced both within and outside the home. It demonstrates how kāṭci (‘vision’, the Tamil word for philosophy), the philosophical practice of living out tiṇai, is a kind of action that is at once rational, emotional and volitional, and how this praxis is guided by the ultimate value of aṉpu or love. It reconceptualizes the discipline of philosophy itself by exploring the semantic horizons of kāṭci without falling back on the western idea of this discipline and thus earns its indispensable niche.
Comprehensive and insightful, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the humanities and social sciences, spanning fields, such as, philosophy, including Indian philosophy, history, place studies, indigenous studies, Tamil studies, Indian studies, South Asian studies, and studies of the global south.
