Thematically structured, wide-ranging and philosophically rigorous, including details of Indian arguments and their theoretical motivations. An essential resource for undergraduate students.

Recenzje

'This is a remarkably clear and systematic introduction to the history of Indian philosophy. Perrett wisely abandons the 'six systems' approach for a topical approach that makes much more sense of the Indian philosophical landscape. This book will be an ideal textbook for an Indian philosophy course, and will be immediately accessible to philosophers to whom this tradition is unfamiliar.' Jay L. Garfield, Yale-NUS College, Singapore
