The series FOUNDATIONS OF PHILOSOPHY IN INDIA, initiated
by
the
Centrefor Philosophy
and
Foundations
of
Science, New Delhi, aims to
make
availablea critical reassessment
of
the philosophical achievement
of
the
classical Indiantradition
in
such a
way
that it contributes to
the
dialogue
between
civilizations
of
the
new
century. Although a
wealth
of
literature is already available
in
translation, it exists
in
scattered form
and
is
primarily oriented towards philologicalrather than philosophical concerns. The series will, uniquely
in
the
history
of
scholarship
in
this area, focus
on
concepts
and
theories,
rather
than the
conventional schools. The objective
in
each
case will
be
to proVide a rigorous
and
analytical examination
of
key
arguments
and
doctrines
in
a
manner
thatmakes them available for contemporary engagement
and
reflection.Although there
is
an
interest worldwide
in
Indian philosophy,
the
absence
of
a corpus
of
texts which presents
the
contents
of
the
tradition
in
a scholarly,
well-researched
yet
accessible
format,
has
long
been
a
handicap.
The
FOUNDATIONS OF PHILOSOPHY
IN
INDIA series will, it is
hoped,
fill this
gap
in
a systematic
and
comprehensive manner.
