Philosophy in Classical India the Proper Work of Reason
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Routledge

Description:
Philosophy is so embedded in the Indian religious tradition that it is very hard to treat one discipline as distinct from the other. The history of Hindu "beliefs" is largely the history of Indian philosophy, and that is reflected in the fact that it is primarily encountered in the study of religion.
Expand description
Original in content and approach, Philosophy in Classical India focuses on the rational principles of Indian philosophical theory, rather than the mysticism usually associated with it. Ganeri explores the philosophical projects of a number of major Indian philosophers and looks into the methods of rational inquiry deployed within these projects. In so doing, he illuminates a network of mutual reference and criticism, influence and response, in which reason is simultaneously used constructively and to call itself into question.
