✦ Synopsis


Indian philosophy is perhaps the earliest record of man's philosophical thought, with a history spanning more than four thousand years. Its diversities and complexities have often been misunderstood and misinterpreted.

The author's purpose in these essays, selected from a variety of publications, is to clarify for the non-Indian reader some of the prevalent misinterpretations about Indian philosophical approach, mysticism, theism, and materialism. The author also discusses the exact place of authority in Indian logic and epistemology, and whether testimony should or should not be recognized as a valid means of knowledge. He examines the serious confusion between Hinduism and Hindu philosophy and gives the reasons for this confusion.
