Classical Indian Philosophy: A history of philosophy without any gaps, Volume 5

One of the best introductions to classical Indian philosophy that I've seen.Very readable, funny in places, comprehensive & accurate.Highly recommended.

Authors have dared to present mostly all the themes of Indian traditions of thought. I liked inclusion of Āyurveda and real contemporary effects of traditions.

Not complaining about the content ... its a pretty cool project and I like to read them.but its not fair to sell these books as "hardcovers". its a paperback with glued pages and a hardback slapped on it.it does not have binding with stitches and hence pages get loose pretty fast. they don't withstand multiple readings or time ... you can save yourself some money and buy the paperbacks ...and "Oxford press" should stop making these books as hardcovers or start making them as real hardcovers ...

It's a good read. I got a better overall picture of Indian Philosophy, though definitely felt I'd only skimmed the surface of the many subjects dealt with. That's to be expected in a single book. Concepts are explained in interesting and amusing ways. I liked the references to modern cultural phenomena, which scattered humour throughout the book.
