In this book, Phillips gives an overview of the contribution of
Nyaya--the classical Indian school that defends an externalist
position about knowledge as well as an internalist position about
justification. Nyaya literature extends almost two thousand years
and comprises hundreds of texts, and in this book, Phillips
presents a useful overview of the under-studied system of thought.
For the philosopher rather than the scholar of Sanskrit, the book
makes a whole range of Nyaya positions and arguments accessible to
students of epistemology who are unfamiliar with classical Indian
systems.

"Although many books deal with different aspects of Indian
philosophy, no work until now has been exclusively devoted to a
thorough, systematic, and critical treatment of this debate. The
style throughout is clear and analytical, and translations are
faithful and elegant. Philosophers, whether Indian or Western,
seriously interested in the idealist-realist debate will find this
work most rewarding. Excellent bibliography and most useful index.
Highly recommended." -- Choice
