This is a book of staggering erudition; it is broad in vision, metaphysically ambitious, and beautifully written. Arindam Chakrabarti knows the history of Indian philosophy as well as anybody alive, and his deep familiarity with the Sanskrit literature across the many Indic traditions and schools of thought from the Vedic period to the present is unmatched. His knowledge of the history of Western philosophy and engagement with contemporary disputes in metaphysics and epistemology is also extremely impressive. This broad expertise in the history of philosophy informs the analytic work of this book beautifully.
