The previous volume examined the arguments of the 11th-century philosopher Udayanacarya. However, the debate over \u003cem\u003eupamana\u003c\/em\u003e did not end there, as many Indian philosophers—including Bauddhas, Jainas, Samkhyas, Vaisheshikas, Mimamsakas, and even some Naiyayikas—remained skeptical of its epistemic status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book delves into how the 12th-century philosopher Gangesha Upadhyaya, in his seminal work \u003cem\u003eUpamanacintamani\u003c\/em\u003e, defended \u003cem\u003eupamana\u003c\/em\u003e as an independent and irreducible pramana (means of knowledge). The analysis is further enriched by referencing Pragalbhacarya’s celebrated commentary on Gangesha’s work. Through a detailed and dialogical method, the author evaluates the evolution of the debate and ultimately upholds Gangesha’s arguments as the most refined and definitive defense of \u003cem\u003eupamana\u003c\/em\u003e, justifying its place in the Indian epistemological tradition. The title \u003cem\u003eFaultless to a Fault\u003c\/em\u003e reflects Gangesha’s unparalleled precision in establishing \u003cem\u003eupamana\u003c\/em\u003e within the larger framework of pramanas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis scholarly work is a must-read for those interested in Indian philosophy, epistemology, and the historical discourse on \u003cem\u003eupamana\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D.K.
