This course examines various traditions of Indian philosophy, specifically the "orthodox" schools (the so-called "six views") and their Buddhist counterpoints. Our concern will be the methods, presuppositions, arguments, and goals in Indian reflection on the nature of the human person (philosophical anthropology), the nature of reality (metaphysics), and the nature and process of knowing (epistemology). The goals of this course include showing the traditions of systematic, critical thinking in India and highlighting, where appropriate, their significant parallels to Western philosophical thought.
