In A Time of Novelty, Samuel Wright re-envisions the relationship between philosophy and history in premodern India. This relationship is studied through the tradition of Sanskrit logic between 1500 and 1700 CE -- the period in Indian history that witnessed the ascendency of the Mughal Empire. During this period, Sanskrit logicians would refer to themselves and their arguments as 'new,' indicating that the concept of novelty was at the center of their philosophical project. By retaining space for emotion when studying intellectual thought,this book recovers both what it means to "think" novelty and to "feel" novelty for these thinkers. Focusing on a number of little-known essays by early modern Sanskrit logicians, Wright argues that the concept of novelty is used to forge a new philosophical community in this period where novelty is both an intellectual and affective category. This perspective allows the book to raise questions that have never been asked when studying Sanskrit logic -- questions concerning critical thought, mood, imagination, and manuscript culture. Wright expands the ways in which we study philosophical thought by considering philosophy as deeply immersed in the felt experiences of one's life, at the confluence of thinking and feeling.

Jose Amesti emigrated from Spain to California via Mexico in the early 1800s arriving at Monterey in 1822. He married, acquired a major land holding in Santa Cruz County and made it financially successful. He became an influential figure in the Monterey government, built what is today a historically significant home there, and left his mark in both Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. All of this played out against a background of great political change and upheaval in Spain, Mexico, and California. A major element in Amesti's political and business success was his ability to navigate through governmental and political changes, as well as the litigation surrounding his land grant that threatened his and his family's financial survival. He was ambitious, energetic, entrepreneurial, and given all that he survived, a bit lucky as well. When he died, he left a memorable legacy. The story begins in Spain in 1788.
