Description - Discovering Indian Philosophy: An Introduction to Hindu, Jain and Buddhist Thought by Jeffery D. Long
Indian Philosophy: An Introduction helps readers discover how the many and varied schools of Indian thought can answer some of the great questions of life: Who are we? How can we live well? How do we tell truth from lies?
