一篇关于印度古典知识理论的论文，在与分析认识论的对话中展开论证。

立场

Matilal set out to show that classical Indian philosophy is not only spiritual wisdom but rigorous argument that can take part in contemporary debates. With the tools of analytic philosophy he reconstructed Navya-Nyaya’s theory of negation and its technical language, the disputes between Nyaya realists and Buddhist logicians on perception, meaning and the self, and the Jain doctrine of many-sidedness. In Perception he defended a Nyaya-style direct realism against Buddhist phenomenalism and scepticism. Later work explored moral dilemmas in the Mahabharata and the figure of Krishna. Through his teaching at Oxford and pupils such as Jonardon Ganeri, he helped establish Indian philosophy within academic philosophy.
