In this groundbreaking collection of articles, Tara Chatterjea brings Indian philosophy into proximity with contemporary analytic thought. Her emphasis on analytic methodology, as well as the book's combination of epistemology and ethics, makes this work unique. With issues ranging from the definition of pramanya and the relation between truth and knowledge to a meaningful redefinition of moksa, this book will appeal to scholars and will be welcomed into advanced courses in Indian philosophy, religion, and culture.

Tara Chatterjea's collection of essays is comparative philosophy at its best, properly grounded in a thorough knowledge of the Sanskrit texts but also wide-ranging in its grasp of issues relevant to traditional and modern European philosophizing. Theory of knowledge, philosophy of mind, ethics, and philosophical psychology are all critically explored from the perspectives of traditional Indian philosophy and modern western thought.
