Synopsis
This book defends a form of realism known as Naive Realism or Direct Realism. Also known as Nyaya Realism, this book reconstructs Nyaya arguments to meet objections from both the Buddhists and the sense-data representationalists. The author places philosophical concerns over historical concerns, demonstrating that some epistemological problems are universal and not confined to one particular cultural tradition.

Review
"In this masterful and elegant 'essay,' B.K. Matilal probes and contrasts nyaya realism and Buddhist 'phenomenalism' as found in the mind-only school of Yogacara....An important contribution to cross-cultural philosophical studies, this work will be of interest to analytical philosophers unaware of the rigor of Indian thought and to Indian specialists interested in deepening their knowledge of Hindu and Buddhist logic."--Religious Studies Review
