This original work focuses on the rational principles of Indian philosophical theory, rather than the mysticism more 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.

This fresh perspective on classical Indian thought unravels new philosophical paradigms, and points towards new applications for the concept of reason.
