Recenzii
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to all students of (Indian) philosophy and to students of comparative religion. It is well written in a clear and concise language, no beating around the bush. The original texts are being respectfully presented but in a critical context ... This is one of the best one-volume-introductions to the complex and diverse world of Indian philosophical thought and an excellent starting place for further discoveries.
