Indian Epistemology and Metaphysics introduces the reader to new
perspectives on Indian philosophy based on philological research
within the last twenty years. Concentrating on topics such as
perception, inference, skepticism, consciousness, self, mind, and
universals, some of the most notable scholars working in classical
Indian philosophy today examine core epistemological and
metaphysical issues. Philosophical theories and arguments from a
comprehensive range of Indian philosophical traditions (including
the Nyaya, Mimamsa, Saiva, Vedanta, Samkhya, Jain, Buddhist,
materialist and skeptical traditions, as well as some 20th century
thought) are covered. The contributors to this volume approach the
topics from both a philosophical and a philological perspective.
They demonstrate the importance of the subject matter for an
understanding of Indian thought in general and they highlight its
wider philosophical significance. By developing an appreciation of
classical Indian philosophy in its own terms, set against the
background of its unique assumptions and historical and cultural
development, Indian Epistemology and Metaphysics is an invaluable
guide to the current state of scholarship on Indian philosophy. It
is a timely and much-needed reference resource, the first of its
kind.
