Description:

Staff. This course is intended for students who have taken SAST 160 (Introduction to Indian Philosophy) and wish to deepen their understanding of the major issues in Indian philosophical thought. Underlying the themes that we will consider -of arguments for and against the existence of God, of the ontological status of external objects, and of the means of valid knowledge and the standards of proof--is a millennia-long conflict between Buddhist and Hindu thinkers, which stimulated remarkable intellectual achievements on both sides.
