Description

An Introduction to Indian Philosophy by Roy W. Perrett provides a comprehensive and accessible exploration of classical Indian philosophy. This book offers a rigorous yet non-technical introduction, covering key areas such as epistemology, logic, metaphysics, ethics, and philosophy of language from a non-Western perspective. Through detailed examinations of various philosophical concerns, the book provides readers with an informed overview of central topics in philosophy, accompanied by suggestions for further reading. Translated Sanskrit texts are presented alongside authorial explanations and contextualisations, enabling readers to understand the argumentative context and philosophical style of Indian texts. A glossary and guide to Sanskrit pronunciation also equip readers with the tools needed to read and comprehend Sanskrit terms and names. This book is an invaluable resource for both beginners and advanced students of philosophy and Asian studies, offering a nuanced understanding of non-Western perspectives on fundamental areas of philosophy.
