- rg111 5y agoThanks for the recommendation. I checked it out and the list looks good. I suggest everyone check out the skeptic and athiestic (Nirisvara- non-God) schools of Indian philosophy. Especially Samkhya and Vaisheshika. Indian past is always painted as a religious golden age. That is simply not true. Indian skepticism, logic, and athiesm is centuries and millenias old.
- vram22 5y agoThe Advaita Vedanta school (non-dualism) is interesting too, IMO.
- thefringthing 5y agoThe 6th century Indian Buddhist logician Dignāga's ideas about evidence and deductive reasoning remind me a lot of the analytic philosophy of the early 20th century.
- rg111 5y agoIf you are interested in such things, I suggest Buddhist Logic and Epistemology: Studies in the Buddhist Analysis of Inference and Language, and Epistemology, Logic, and Grammar In Indian Philosophical Analysis, by Bimal Krishna Matilal and Lokayata: A Study in Ancient Indian Materialism and Science and Society in Ancient India by Debiprasad Chattyopadhyay.
