About this book series
This series explores problems, debates, and arguments in the expansive domain of Indian philosophy from classical to contemporary philosophical interests. It includes ancient Indian philosophy, philosophy developed through debates in the various schools (the Samkhya, Nyaya, Advaita, Buddhist and Jain among others), the work of both twentieth century and more contemporary Indian philosophers; as well as the indigenous philosophy of the tribes of India. It brings out the diverse interests of the Indian mind reflected in the practices and articulations of Indian cultures and the philosophical thinking that arises from them within the autonomy of their own boundaries of sense and meaning. This makes it possible to have an unalloyed view of the real concerns of the Indian philosophical tradition and lays the groundwork for a creative intervention in contemporary, what we might call mainstream philosophy, as it is practised worldwide in the academy. By initiating a dialogue between the philosophical traditions of India (and more generally of the East) with those of the West, the series fosters a global dialogue on diverse philosophical perspectives. It provides a valuable resource for both lay readers and scholars interested in Indian philosophy, comparative philosophy (in epistemology, ethics, metaphysics and other areas), pluralism, and multiculturalism. There are of course standalone volumes on specific systems, texts, and thinkers in Indian philosophy; however, this series uniquely positions significant works across centuries within a coherent framework presenting the specific concerns of Indian philosophy in their diversity, and its abiding issues as embedded in their original articulations. While rooted in the rich tapestry of Indian thought, the series explicitly addresses its global relevance, providing insights that resonate with scholars and readers across the world. Both individual-authored and edited books are considered within the series.
