Epistemology in Indian Thought: Sources, Methods, and Limits of Knowledge

Epistemology in Indian Thought introduces readers to the classical Indian investigation into the nature, sources, and limits of knowledge. Unlike many modern discussions that treat knowledge as purely theoretical, Indian philosophy connects knowledge with transformation, clarity, and liberation. This book explores major theories of perception, inference, testimony, comparison, postulation, and non-cognition as developed across diverse philosophical schools. It also explains debates about illusion, doubt, and certainty in accessible language. Designed for beginners, students of philosophy, and thoughtful readers interested in intellectual traditions of India, this work offers a clear pathway into one of humanity's richest epistemological heritages.
