Epistemology in Classical India

Know about the book -

Epistemology in Classical India is written by Stephen H Phillips and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1136518991 (ISBN 10) and 9781136518997 (ISBN 13).

In this book, Phillips gives an overview of the contribution of Nyaya--the classical Indian school that defends an externalist position about knowledge as well as an internalist position about justification. Nyaya literature extends almost two thousand years and comprises hundreds of texts, and in this book, Phillips presents a useful overview of the under-studied system of thought. For the philosopher rather than the scholar of Sanskrit, the book makes a whole range of Nyaya positions and arguments accessible to students of epistemology who are unfamiliar with classical Indian systems.
