Nevertheless, its accuracy and clarity of exposition will make it welcome to many more experienced students and scholars both in India and in the West. Dismissing the misunderstandings and misinterpretations found in many similar books, Dr. Raju presents a carefully balanced description of the main Indian schools. He stresses that there is much more to Indian philosophy than Vedanta or Nyaya teachings, and emphasizes the importance of the Mimamsa school which has often been dismissed in the past as a mere system of rituals, whereas it in fact offers some of the most profound insights into the doctrine of ethical action and is intimately and intricately related to many other important schools. Dr. Raju explains the basic forms and the conceptual framework of Indian philosophy in simple language, gradually guiding the reader towards the more complicated or difficult concepts. He gives due weight to logic and metaphysics and refrains from the temptation of indiscriminately reading Western doctrines into Oriental wisdom, yet draws astute comparisons with Western philosophy where justified. Both over~simplification and unnecessary complexity are avoided. No acquaintance with Sanskrit is assumed on the part of the reader and Sanskrit terms (which are given in brackets wherever useful) are kept to the minimum in the main text. New translations of many terms have been adopted in the light of the latest studies and research, and a full glossary and index have been provided for ease of reference.
