This book is a defence of a form of realism which stands closest to
that upheld by the Nyaya-Vaisesika school in classical India. The
author presents the Nyaya view and critically examines it against
that of its traditional opponent, the Buddhist version of
phenomenalism and idealism. His reconstruction of Nyaya arguments
meets not only traditional Buddhist objections but also those of
modern sense-data representationalists. The dispute between the
Buddhist and Nayaya schools of thought lasted over 12 centuries,
and although Professor Matilal's approach is mainly historical, it
is made in the belief that the philosophical issues raised by this
dispute are universal, rather than simply traditional, and have a
significant contribution to make to modern philosophical concerns.
