In recent years, there has been a major reassessment in the philosophy literature of classical and ancient India. Modern philosophy is using its analytical tools to create new and innovative interpretations of these texts. A rational approach to Indian philsophical theories has led to the need for a book that explains its core concepts, methods, and devices. This book fulfills that need. Jonardon Ganeri provides new interpretations that assume no prior knowledge of the texts. This brings out the richness and sophistication of Indian theory. Philosophy in Classical India is original in its approach and content. It contains many new results and analyses, as well as explanations.
