This book presents a collection of essays, setting out both the
special concern of classical Indian thought and some of its
potential contributions to global philosophy. It presents a number
of key arguments made by different schools about this special
concern: the way in which attainment of knowledge of reality
transforms human nature in a fundamentally liberating way. It also
looks in detail at two areas in contemporary global philosophy -
the ethics of difference, and the metaphysics of consciousness -
where this classical Indian commitment to the spiritually
transformative power of knowledge can lead to critical insights,
even for those who do not share its presuppositions. Close reading
of technical Indian texts is combined with wide-ranging and often
comparative analysis of philosophical issues to derive original
arguments from the Indian material through an analytic method that
is seldom mastered by philosophers of non-western traditions.
