Indian Philosophy

The five volumes of this set bring together some of the most significant modern contributions to the study of classical Indian philosophy: one of the great philosophical traditions of the world.

Unfortunately, however, its philosophical riches are not always as readily accessible to Western philosophies as might be desired.

The selections in these volumes help to redress this situation by giving readers easy access to some of the best philosophical works in the area, including material that is often difficult to locate.

Collectively the selections in these volumes explore many of the important commonalities and differences between the Indian and Western philosophical traditions.

These similarities and differences are philosophically pregnant.

There is enough in common between Indian and Western philosophy to suggest that the philosophers in both traditions are often engaged with similar problems and hence should be able to communicate with each other.

Yet, there are also sufficient differences between the traditions to suggest that they might have some novel perspectives to offer each other.
