Indian Philosophical Studies, first published in 1957, is a collection of nineteen essays on technical aspects of Indian philosophy by Prof. M. Hiriyanna. The learned professor writes with great clarity on abstruse subjects of traditional Indian thought. He discusses Indian epistemology at great length and presents the views of several ancient thinkers in the course of his exposition. Hiriyanna's academic integri ty, logical acumen, thoroughness in the original sources, critical analysis, methodical presentation of arguments, and his remarkable ability to articulate his thoughts pre cisely and in lucid language makes these writings as mod els for essays on philosophy.
Mysore Hiriyanna (1871-1950) was a well known Sanskrit professor and an authority on Indian philosophy and aesthetics. Inti mately familiar with the classics of Sanskrit and English, Hiriyanna devoted his life to the cause of making clear and accessible the wisdom of ancient India. He set the standard for scholars writing about Indian subjects in English. All through his life he remained a quiet, humble, disciplined, and altruistic person who primarily sought to better himself as a human being.
