Book Summary
The "Tattva-cinta-mani," or "Jewel of Reflection on the Truth" ( "About Epistemology"), by the great fourteenth-century Indian logician Gangesa Upadhyaya solidified the ''New''( "navya") phase of the ancient Indian Nyaya school of epistemology and metaphysics. The present work is a translation of "The Perception Chapter" ( "pratyaksa-khanda") of this foundational text. The authors'introduction and running commentary to the translation provide essential theoretical and historical background, contextualization, analysis, and comparison of Nyaya and Western traditions. Includes a detailed glossary and index.
