Reviews

This book provides an incredible set of resources for anyone who wants to think with Indian philosophers about the kinds of reasoning practices that yield knowledge. But it also provides an accessible introduction, for those who are just beginning to explore these rich Indian debates. I recommend this book strongly! * Bryce Huebner, Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, Georgetown University, USA * This fine volume on the neglected topic of the epistemological status of arthapatti, a contested form of ampliative reasoning in Indian philosophy, brings together both Sanskrit primary sources in new translations and original philosophical essays. It is a first-rate contribution to the philosophical history of Indian philosophy. * Roy W. Perrett, Visiting Professor of Philosophy, Ashoka University, India * This volume is a most welcome addition to the contemporary scholarship of Classical Indian epistemology. The source materials and the philosophical papers collected here bring into focus distinctive debates about arthapatti (postulation or presumption) and why they should matter to anyone interested in theory of knowledge and philosophy of language. * Monima Chadha, Senior Lecturer of Philosophy, Monash University, Australia *
