Hello all
I’m tasked with updating two online (OBO) bibliographies: one on Indian philosophy (in general 2011) and the other on Hindu philosophy (2016).
To this end, I would appreciate suggestions regarding stand out publications from the last seven years (in Indian philosophy) or the last two years (on Hindu philosophy)
No worries about self promotion: I’d be happy to hear about everyone’s work and for everyone to toot their own horn! I will be constrained in part by the format of the bibliography in deciding what I can include, but I am hoping that all such suggestions will make the light of day if they are included as a response to this blog post. Of course, you can also send me your requests privately (if you can’t find my email address, you can send me an note here: http://www.yorku.ca/shyamr/contact.html)
Thanks,
Shyam
Interesting question. Here are my first thoughts, but I am curious to read about yours (and the others’). I only listed books, to avoid listing too many things.

Thanks Elisa!
Shyam, you may want to glance at Malcolm and my entry on pramāṇa epistemology. I will post some more here within a couple of days.
Thanks!
Shyam, here are a few other places that I’d look: Jonardon Ganeri just published a 4-volume collection on what he is taking to be leading scholarship on Indian philosophy. It’s worth looking over to see if anything was missed: https://www.routledge.com/Ganeri-Indian-Philosophy-4-vol-set/Ganeri/p/book/9780415712057
I’d also glance at the recommended readings at the end of each chapter of Roy Perrett’s book, discussed here: https://indianphilosophyblog.org/2016/12/06/book-review-of-an-introduction-to-indian-philosophy-by-roy-w-perrett-reviewed-by-matthew-r-dasti/
Thank you, Matthew, I did not know Ganeri’s anthology. It is a somewhat weird selection, isn’t it (apart from the excellent contributions by you, Malcolm etc.)? Is it meant to be the “very best of” secondary literature on Indian philosophy?
You’d have to ask him for the ultimate answer, but clearly, of necessity there is a lot left out; I think he wanted to give a synoptic view of the literature, not say this is the “best,” but rather a fair, broad range of scholarship on many of the important issues.
Any attempt to do justice to all the existing scholarship would lead to a massive multi-volume work. This one already has four volumes. In his sort of project, the criteria for inclusion would likely come off as arbitrary in some cases. That’s just par for the course.
Thanks Matthew!
Sorry, the Thanks below was meant for here!
My blood sugar must be low: I keep responding in the wrong place. 🙂
Ha! Glad it helped a little.
Amazing response! Thanks to all who responded to my request: Matthew and Elisa, and also the folks who responded to me personally!
