Abstract: This book is a defence of a form of realism which stands closest to that upheld by the Nyaya-Vaid'sesika school in classical India. The author presents the Nyaya view and critically examines it against that of its traditional opponent, the Buddhist version of phenomenalism and idealism. His reconstruction of Nyaya arguments meets not only traditional Buddhist objections but also those of modern sense-data representationalists
Comment: This can be used as a reading for a course on indian philosophy, focusing on epistemology, and philosophy of science
Difficulty: Intermediate
Recommended use: Specialised
