Indian Philosophy of Mind: A Comparative Study

Abstract

<em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">In this paper I explore surprising parallels in the arguments between dualists and materialists in the philosophy of mind in India and the West. In particular, I compare the Nyaya School of India with Cartesian dualism and its Western defenders and the Carvaka School of India with contemporary Western materialists.</span></span></em>
